Is There A Relationship Between Jaw Pain And Heart Disease?
Question: Hi Doctor- I have slight jaw Pain and shoulder Pain and Teeth are sensitive in the morning for last 4 days. Is this symptoms related to heart disease ?.
Brief Answer:
No worries.
Detailed Answer:
Greetings! thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I am Dr. Meriton. I understand your concern.
Even though you are experiencing certain symptoms, there is the lowest probability that they come from heart disease. Therefore, I would recommend you to look at your teeth with your dentist.
If you are referring to angina (the pain generated from a blockage within a coronary artery) it has its atypical signs such as those you described above. But, they appear only in diabetic patients and the elderly. In a 27 year old, they are practically negligable. My opinion is that there is muscle soreness that can cause these symptoms. However, if these symptoms are really worrisome to you, I would recommend you to do an EKG, to assess the heart electrical and conduction system. My opinion remains that there is nothing to worry about as for the cardiac part. These may be symptoms that will go away in three to four days, confirming the muscle origin of the pain. The coronary artery blockage pain (angina) is very intensive and you would seek for medical attention immediately, it does not come and go.
I hope this was helpful. I wish you a good health.
If you have follow-up questions, I would be happy to help.
If you do not, please close the discussion and rate the answer.
Kindest regards,
Dr. Meriton
