Hello friend, I think you need to have your "THYROID" checked sounds like you might have hyper-thyroid just a simple blood test will let you know. I have had the same symtoms..... and did have hyer- thyroid. Tmj won't cause this. Take care and let me know!

Zenie,

Hyperacidity and Chest Pain could be the result of a Sleep Disordered Breathing problem.

People whose teeth force their lower jaw to go back when they bite together offen experience symptoms of TMJ. This same lower jaw retrusion (going backward) problem can also cause the tongue to go to the back of the throat which can cause blockage of your airway when you sleep.

Why people whose teeth force their lower jaw back have ear symptoms like tinnitus is explained in this Youtube video:

Sleep breathing problems, like Obstructive Sleep Apnea have been linked to High Blood Pressure, which can cause chest pain.

70% of all people with TMJ have Sleep Breathing problems.

60% of all people with Sleep Disordered Breathing have TMJ.

Diseases that are linked with high percentages like TMJ and SDB are called "Comorbid".

Good Luck,

Dr. T can you please link studies to the numbers you cited?

I would think that hyperacidity and chest pain is more likely to be acid reflux?

I had to be admitted to hospital with chest pains and that was the basic diagnosis after a number of tests.

I used to have extreme anxiety that gave me heartburn and chest pain. i wouldn't be surprised if the tinnitus was caused by TMJ also, because the jaw joint is so close to the ear, and as the jaw moves, it can affect your hearing pretty easily. I've had partial deafness for years now because of my TMJ. I do, however, know that my TMJ has given me a mild case of sleep apnea, as my jaw being seated so far back has closed off my nasal passageway somewhat. I've tried a CPAP machine but it was far too uncomfortable. I am a candidate for jaw surgery, to get it moved forward and open up my airway, but its expensive and risky (obviously).

If you hvae any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks
