I do get that. especially now. I find that when i get sick i get a lot of pressure in my nose. I have metal up in there too which doesnt help--i get nose pressure on occasion just from that.

Jaw clicking, headaches, sinus problems and even loss of hearing can result of TMJ.
What you were told caused your TMJ?

My sinuses are brutalized from TMJ. I live with the equivilent of a constant post-nasal drip or nasal infection because of the swelling it causes on my sinuses. I wake up every morning choking.

have you gone to see an ent to see if you can get something to control the post nasal drip? you should probably start taking some kind of anti-inflamitory.

I thought it was only me but I go through that too. When I'm lying down to sleep I have to breathe through my mouth. It feels like congestion without actual congestion. I havnt gone to see a tmj specialist yet but maybe he can explain the treatment options

a lot of people with it suprizingly have something like this. i know i had a while there where i thought i was sick but realized i wasnt congested and it was just my jaw.

Dental disorders and TMJ can mimic sinusitis.

that is true

Trigger points in the jaw muscles (tiny contraction knots in overworked or traumatized muscles) have been shown to cause pain and a sense of pressure in the front of the face, under the eyes, and over the eyebrows, symptoms that are often mistaken for sinusitis.
When sinus medicine doesn’t help sinus pain, it’s a good bet that trigger points are the problem.
There are clinical studies that have showed that the trigger points in the muscles of the face, jaws, and front of the neck can cause the generation of excess mucus in the sinuses, nasal cavities, and throat.
This can be the simple explanation for continuing sinus drainage, constant clearing of throat, chronic cough, allergic rhinitis (runny nose), and persistent hay fever or cold symptoms in patients with TMJ.

i use to have all of those when my tmd was in full swing. something didn't feel right about my throat and nose, i was practically deaf and little bags under my eyes and i had high temperature almost flu like. it's insane how something small like a messed up bite can trigger all of those symptoms.

Have some of you experienced hypersensitivity to heat, cold, and touch in both upper and lower teeth?

Hi... after much pain and physical distress, and much research...( and a diagnosis of TMJ and a bite guard etc. etc. etc) I have taken the drastic step of removing my root canalled teeth. ..which totaled 8. I am finally feeling human again! But it was a 10 year ordeal which saw my perfect health spiral into a state of disease. All trouble began when I had 8 teeth capped, which in turn became abscessed ...which in turn had root canals...which in turn were retreated. Much money!!!$$$ All the while, I had terrible face pain, 2 boil like sores that drained green puss at the bridge of my nose where the sinus opens..sinus infection...head ache...cough ...as well, I began to get joint pain and soreness in my fingers, hands, knees and elbows. Sore swollen eyes...blurred vision....I was tired. I also began having problems with my bladder. ..All this in my late 30's. Please! Do yourself a favor and do some research on root canals on line....you will be blown away. If you are sick...get rid of them! As I gave up on my vanity...a nice white smile ( still have it...false teeth are ok!!) and put my health first...I had them pulled. Of course...my dentist, and likely others, thought I was crazy. He did not want to pull my teeth. I found a dentist who listened. I am now feeling soooo much better. ..and I thank God I got rid of them....and man...did they STINK!!!talk about a bacteria factory poisoning you from the inside out!! Google "Root Canals..and whatever symptoms you may have..and see what comes up!!

a lot of us have not had root canals.
