Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. Your symptoms are just the temporary effects after quitting smoking. These includes jaw discomfort, increased salivation, anxiety, headache, etc. But these are for short time only.
You have done a very good thing with quitting smoking. Just relax. If you clench your teeth to stop urge, stop. Meditate, maintain healthy diet.
If symptoms persists for long, see your physician.
Hope this answer helps.
Thank you!
