Since about the time that my wisdom teeth have come in, I have noticed that my jaw clicks upon opening/closing, and shifting side/side. This has gone on for about a year or more, but it never really bothered me much. However, lately I'm having a lot of issues that, unfortunately, could be tied to various conditions, and I don't really know where to start, or who to start with.

The other issues include: dizziness, skewed equilibrium (sometimes it feels as though I'm off center from my body when standing/walking), fogginess of the mind, sinus pressure/tingling/nasal congestion that tends to only go away when I'm extreeeeemely relaxed or take Claritin-D for allergy/congestion, headaches/tension on the right side of my head (right jaw joint is the only one that clicks), sometimes facial sensitivity (sometimes going as far to feel pin-prickly when touched), not able to lean forward/sit/stand very fast without feeling like a pressure cooker, tightness in the neck (so much so that I develop a cricopharyngeal spasm every now and again), ear fullness/pain/tinitus, sometimes a crinkling sound and sensation upon chewing and hearing loud noises (like a noise being filtered through wax paper, like on a toy kazoo), and a general discomfort of the jaw on the side that clicks that feels relieved by holding the jaw open a bit.

Wow, that's a lot, looking at it in a list form!!

I've been to two different primary doctors in the last month. One chalked my neck tension, headaches, facial sensitivity, dizziness and sinus issues up to anxiety and either chronic sinitus or "the weather," another said pretty much the same thing. No one bothered to ask me about my teeth- even my wisdom teeth, which are more well-known to cause problems (seeing as a lot of doctors don't know much about TMJ). I know that I have to get myself to a dentist... I'm scheduling an appointment ASAP because I'm through with feeling this way and having no determined explanation for it. I was so scared for a while that I had something very life threatening. If I get the "TMJD" diagnosis, I know my anxiety attacks will dwindle, regardless of dealing with the condition. The worst part of experiencing all of these symptoms has been not knowing what was wrong, ultimately. It hadn't occured to me that it might be my wisdom teeth and/or a development of TMJD from years of biting my nails and clenching my jaw in anxious and stressful moments until very recently!!!

Does it really sound like TMJD?
