What Does Severe Pain In The Lower Jaw Indicate?

I'm experiencing pain in my lower right jaw that also is affecting my shoulder and arm... It's been going on most of the day. Now I'm in bed trying to sleep, it's keeping me up. Should I go to the ER? My heart rhythm seems ok, no chest pains really. I have anxiety issues so I worry! Thank you!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Well, mostly the heart-related pain is observed in the left lower jaw and left shoulder and neck, but at times there can be an exception. The pain can be due to muscle and nerve related problem, however, you should get it checked once, to be on a safer side.

You should consult an emergency room and get evaluated.

A cardiac examination can also be done for eliminating its cause. If the pain is due to the muscle-related problem, then muscle relaxants like Chlorzoxazone can be advised. Along with it, muscle relaxant gel or spray can be used.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
