Tmj-dizziness(bppv?) And Nausea Posted: 10-29-04 19:07pm
I clearly have tmj.(i clench). All the
symptoms. However, one thing that puzzles
me is that they all start with something
like a bppv (positional vertigo). I get a
full blown attck of vertigo out of nowhere
and then the headache, nausea, dizziness,
jawpain all come together. Does anybody
have dizziness and nausea together with
tmj? Something like bppv?
Thank you

Hi! Yes, I have had dizziness and nausea
also. It usually causes me anxiety too.
The jaw being out of place can affect the
ears, thus the equilibrium. Hope this
helps. You are not alone.

Yes! I have the same thing. You are
definitely not alone. I have had tmj for
several years but only recently have had
the vertigo accompany it. I also get
headaches and dizziness. My vertigo
attacks come out of nowhere. I'm sitting
at dinner and then all of a sudden, the
room spins and I can't hear or see
anything clearly. It lasts for about 5
or so minutes and then it's gone. I am
usually loopy after that. My doctor is
having me checked for meniere's disease.
You might want to look into it and see if
your doctor wants you to do the same.
There are many websites that explain the
symptoms. Just type in "meniere's
disease" in the search bar and you will
get a plethera of websites to browse.
It's nice to know that someone out there
knows what I am going through.

Check Migrain Associated Vertigo, Too Posted: 11-26-04 22:53pm
Thanks for the reply.
I think I have tmj and migrain associated
vertigo. Meniere's disease is also being
checked. It is very hard but I am taking
toprol for my dizziness and I think it
does help. (you know, migrain does not
always come with a headache!!)
migrain and tension headache can also come
together so check everything even though
it takes time and makes you frustrated.
Hang in there!!

I had the dizziness for over a month...
And I have found that it is relieved
through massage. Specificly the scm
muscles they are 2 muscles that start off
at the mid/base of the neck and goes up
the side of the neck and behind the ear.
From increased tension in the jawmuscles;
this muscle often forms trigger points and
also becomes tense causing dizziness.
Proper massaging of this muscle can bring
almost immediate relief from dizziness.
Be sure that you do it properly... There
are many other elements involved in the
neck and you don't want to irritate
anything. I recommend a book called
trigger point therapy workbook.

Re; Bppv & Tmj Posted: 06-22-05 19:19pm
Three years ago I was diagnosed with
(bppv). I thought I was lossing my mind.
It started with dizzy spells while I was
driving. The spells became worse
especially when I was driving on the
interstate and would have to look to my
left to merge into traffic. Then at
night if I moved suddenly it would set a
spell off and it would be "like the worst
roller coaster ride in your life". I
would wake up shaking and scared and the
room would not stop spinning. I went to
a ent Dr. Had a balance test done along
with checking for sinus problems. I was
diagnosed with the (bppv). I attened
physical therapy for several months and
was finally able to overcome it.
Three months ago I was diagnosed with
tmj which has started my jaw joint ball to
detoriate. I am currently wearing the
splint at night. This help with the jaw
pain because I became where I could only
eat very soft food. After reading
everyone's reply's on this page I know I
am not alone.
Two days ago it started (the bppv) to
bother me again driving. I talked to my
therapist and she said it could all be
related to the tmj and applying pressure
to the ear canal. I took the suggestion
of ednia963 under tmj & vertigo and
tried bonnamine. This helped this
afternoon and I will try it again.
Thank you for reading this and know you
are not alone and you are not crazy.

I was told I have tmj, but sometimes the
pain is there, sometimes it's not! What
I have been experiencing though for the
past 2 weeks is a constant head pressure,
with ear fullness (asi if I was in high
altitude), neck and shoulder strain, even
sometimes my eyeballs hurt, and although I
am not vomitting, I do feel a bit
nauseous. I even feel tingly and cold in
my hands and feet. It's just frustrating.
I just want to be well! The doctors are
no good- they just say I am stressed, and
my dentist just wants me to wear a mouth
guard. He said my jaw was still ok- just
that the muscles are really strained- but
that's all.
