I also get pains in my jaw, although not constant, I pains at alternating spots of my rib cage and pale face.

With some very acute or severe anxietly attacks, your body can actually get stiff becuase you somehow feel like you are in knots. Could also affect your breathing. If it really makes you worried, I would go ahead and get it checked out.

Hey Rolly,

You are suffering from anxiety attacks, I have them all the time. I have been to the hospital so many times that the doctors know me. I am on Lexapro 10mg daily and I take adivan only when needed.

I would go to your doctor and explain your feelings, because anxiety can ruin your life.

Caring tension in your jaw is very common. I find myself tensing my jaw immensely at times

hello everyone,
I don't know about the heart, but the jaw situation is what I am going through. It was so bad that I thought I may be losing my hearing due to the ear pain. I did get my ears and hearing checked and it is all normal. So I am told that it is being caused by my TMJ joint of the jaws.

The fix is either an insert to wear at night so I can't clench my jaw or to sleep with my mouth open, I am trying that now. For the anxiety part of your question, get a doctor to check things out. But it is likely due to stress, try your local health food store for some herbal remedies or even just vitamin B is great.
