Q: Tmj, Throat Problems And Gerd

Hi- I was wondering if anyone knows of a connection between tmj and acid reflux? I have had bad acid reflux since my tmj has started acting up. My throat seems weak since my jaw has been sore, but I don't know if maybe the gerd caused my jaw problem or the other way around. My chest feels heavy, burning in my throat and inability to eat much. My g.P. Prescribed nexium so hopefully this will help. Anyone with similar problems? Thanks - amanda
