TMJ Dizziness?

[*Robin*]

I have TMJ and lately have been having constant dizziness. The only time I get relief is when I am lying down. Even typing is hard because I feel like I can't focus, if that makes any sense. The room isn't spinning, but I constantly feel like I am moving.

I also have an infected tooth, which makes TMJ worse.

Does anyone else get this? Does it sound like it can be caused by TMJ?

Taking care of the most obvious problem is the first thing. If you have an infeced tooth, that needs to be taken care of.
I always ask my patient this .. if there was a cut on your hand and was oozin pus and infection by products, would you be waiting to see a Dr. to fix things? a better question, would you be on the net asking what to do?  No.. probably, ou would have been at a doctor fixing and irradicating the infection. So why do we put up with dental infections? because we don't see them readily?
Get  the infection taken care of, and then find a TMJ doctor, you could have dizzines ffrom poor positioning of your lower jaw..

All the best.

Seeing a medical professional is advised. If there is no help from MD, seeing a tmj specialist is probably the next choice.
