For 6 months I've been having muscle tension in my jaws and in the face. I don't feel any pain, but I can feel the tension building up after a meal and after a workout with weights. I use Sobril as a muscle relaxing medicine, and it also helps me calm down when I am tensed. First I interpreted my symptoms as pressure inside the head, and this caused a high degree of anxiety. But now I'm almost certain that my torments comes from tension in my jaws and in my facial muscles. I am also at times very dizzy, again thinking that this comes from facial muscle tension. Does anyone have any suggestions on have to get better? I have tried muscle relaxing pills, some exercises stretching the jaw muscles and sleeping with this device that stops me from grinding my teeth. Nothing of this seems to be of any help. And I don't think I am grinding my teeth anyway, it's just muscle tension. Help!
