What Causes Extreme Jaw Tightening And Spasm?
I have been under and extreme amount of stress. I have begun to have what I now know to be panic attacks. I have been getting better able to cope with the stresses the past few months however I have begun to have a consistent tighten if my jaw and lower jowls while feeling a constant lip twinge/tingle. I fee extremely clenched. What is causing this extreme tightening and spasm? Could it just be stress related?

While this could just be from stress, it may signal either a vitamin B12 deficiency or a calcium overload so you need blood work to check for those
