Chicken or egg headache from teeth clenching or clenching teeth because of the headache π€π€·ββοΈ. I think it's the latter because I'm just now noticing that I'm clenching but damn now my jaw hurts π.
I do this when I get stressed. Shoulders too. I have to consciously check in throughout the day (pretty much only when I'm working a shift at the hospital) to make sure I'm relaxing those areas. My new watch has actually been helping a lot. It's wildly accurate at picking up when Im stressed, usually before I even realize I'm getting stressed.
Could be totally irrelevant for you but it's worth trying if you don't know what's causing the clenching (some people do it in their sleep)
I used to be a nighttime clencher, but I haven't in many years. I had a pretty bad migraine during the week and I'm still feeling the aftereffects "hangover" possibly a rebound headache. I'm trying to ignore it because I'm a believer in you can make it happen if you think on it too much.
this is me π
it happens way more when I'm stressed and when I'm cold. throwing on a sweater and laying on a hot pad helps.
hope you feel better soon!
See if your dental insurance will cover a nightguard.
You get an impression done at the office, then the dentist has a lab make a custom nightguard exactly to fit your teeth.
Itβs usually about 500 bucks without insurance, but it makes a world of difference.
Migraines are truly awful. I used to have them monthly. Now maybe twice a year, usually when the weather changes. Unfortunately puking is the only thing that ever helps mine
The heating pad seems to have helped. Also the weather figuring itself out π. Occasionally I get one that just won't quit, it's been a hot minute since I had a bad one like this.
for me, I found they were mostly hormonal and I'd get them like clockwork with my cycle. Haven't had a bad one since I got pregnant with taro though so maybe the hormone stuff sorted itself out.
glad you're feeling better!
