What Causes Persistent Jaw Pain And Feeling Of Head Being Heavy?
Question: I have horrible anxiety and just went through a divorce last september. It seems as though in the past few weeks I have been diagnosing myslef with everything under the sun. I spend entirely to much time on the internet diagnosing myself which then makes my anxiety worsen. Long and short I have jaw pain on both sides and my head feels so heavy. I sometimes wear my hair back and it feels like my head could fall over. The jaw pain is what has me concerned it is a constant aching pain and then I have the heavy feeling in my head.
Brief Answer:
Buprenorphine 5 mg transdermal patch
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Since you are having jaw pain and you are not getting relief with ibuprofen i would advise you to apply buprenorphine 5 mg transdermal patch locally
You can apply the patch below the collar bone area
It will control your pain for 7 days after which you have to replace it with a new one
You need a doctors prescription for it
If the jaw pain and feeling of head being heavy does not resolve within 2 weeks you need to do a CT scan of head and face region
