Could Anxiety And Stress Cause Recurring Toothache, Migraines And Vomiting?

Hi, really hope someone can help. My partner of 2years has suffered nearly every week (if not more often) with episodes of severe toothache out of no where. This is often (99% of the time) accompanied with migraines and vomiting. He will try to sleep it off and stay in a dark room. It can last anywhere between half an hour and all day. Weirdly it happens nearly everytime he drinks alcohol too which I don t know if it s a coincidence or not. This will happen about 85% of the times he drinks. Although for a whole week on an all inclusive holiday he did not feel a thing and we were drinking everyday.. Uv thought it could possibly due to anxiety and stress, as we have been through a lot of upheaval and there has always been something negative going on... He s had root canal treatment twice which hasn t worked. He has suffered from 2 very bad absests in the last 3 years as well and his wisdom tooth is coming through. He tells me the pain changes places so it can t be the wisdom tooth.. Does anyone know what this could be. He s upstairs being sick right now and there s nothing I can do to help him. Thanks in advance

Hello,

The jaw pain, migraine and vomiting are in concern with underlying neurological disorder rather than simple anxiety or stress. It is the trigeminal nerve problems which manifest in such fashion, however a neurological work up is best recommended for confirmation of the diagnosis and cure accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
