I am 19 years old and i've noticed that whenever i do any kind of cardiovascular exercising...(riding a bike fast or running...stuff like that) my bottom teeth start to hurt, kind of like biting into something really cold and keeping it on your teeth. if i keep doing what ever i am doing after my teeth start to hurt then my head starts hurting really bad too. i just wondered if you know if this is a symptom of anything or if i should be concerned about anything with this? if this is not the place to ask this question could you please direct me to the place i should be? Thank you very much.




Dear Jamie,
This is the first time I've ever heard this particular complaint.  How hard are you exercising when this occurs?  Perhaps you should try exercising at a lower level for a longer period?
