What Causes Jaw Pain And Muscles Tightened Around Them, Heart Facing?
I have been diagnosed with polymyositis . I am on prednisone 3 MG at 3 times a day and I take hydromorphone for back pain and hurting all over. I only take it once or twice a day at 4mg. I have been having sinus, so I took Cingular taken once a day. I have only had one. Today my jaws ache and the muscles have tightened around them. My heart feel like it is racing. It comes and goes every 5minutes, since I woke from my nap. Is it a drug interaction? I have had this happen before. I had a thorough work up with my cardiologist three months ago and he said my heart was good and YYYY@YYYY

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my point of view i think it is a side effect of the drug interaction or high prednisone levels may cause such tachycardia or arrhythmia of your cardiac muscles .
Sometimes its a kind of allergy or hypersensitivity reaction but for my patients i may recommend further cardiac investigation under effort or by echo cardiography while having such attacks for proper diagnosis and management .
I think you may need to ask your physician for re dosing or changing the treatment with such drugs .
