My teeth chatter sometimes when I get the chills, but only then.

The chills, however, happen occasionally and for no obvious reason.

I've never had this.. I grind my teeth in my sleep though..x

Like Sun Cloud, I've always been a tooth grinder but chatter only comes in the cold.

When anxiety goes into high gear, I experience clenching of my jaw, and then a quick release.....sounds similar to what you are experiencing .

But like always , run this by your pdoc

Also
anxiety attacks and panic attacks are actually 2 different issus.

Anxiety attacks can occur out of the blue, usually peak in about 20 minutes. Although they also can come in waves .

Panic attacks are a continuing feeling of anxiety, that can last months .

The feelings associated with anxiety / panic are very similar

irregular heart beat
shortness of breath
sense of doom
heaviness on the chest
dizziness
cold sweats

all in all ...not a fun experience !

Could it be a med reaction? Have you started something new? I know when im on high doses of my ap i clench bad (enough to split a dang tooth)

Sounds like very extreme anxiety attack. I too grind my teeth to the point of breaking them including breaking my bridgework twice.

It is interesting that panic attacks and anxiety attacks are different based on how long the attack lasts. I have panic attacks then with anxiety attacks while I am in public.

I haven't had my teeth chatter in years. It never gets really cold here.

Gotta agree with Justlet on this one, sounds more like a new tardive dyskinesia symptom to a medication imo.

I do when under a lot of stress. It is something I am left with since what I call the "blip". It's frustrating.

Before being diagnosed I had a complete neuro breakdown. Couldn't speak without stuttering and I spoke as if I was non-hearing. My gait was off and I could barely walk.

The story is much longer but the initial thoughts were it was a medication reaction. MRI- spinal taps and every test in the world and they all came back back normal. Final dx was it was a physiologic reaction to stress PTSD related from childhood trauma.

Mine is more of a type of uncontrollable shuttering of the jaw but my teeth do not ever really meet. It looks as if I am about to stutter which I do when overly stressed or excited. ( mind racing crap)

I would put a call in to the doc and describe your symptoms. Hopefully it's nothing. Good luck.

OMG RICHARD!!!!! ;)
