A member asked:
Pressure in back of head and pressure in upper jaw. can tmj or a tension headache cause this? i have been very stressed lately and have been getting tension headaches often but never had upper jaw pressure?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
