I am female, 33 years old. I have been having strange symptoms for some time, that have began unexpectedly....when i try to eat, i feel as tho my throat narrows, and slightly sick, but when the first bite is down the throat, the rest is ok (this symptom occurred for the first time when i tried to drink cola on my vacation. i don't know if it is of any importance, but i never drink cola otherwise). There is also dizziness, which i have never experienced before. I have a constant fatigue, but it is not drastic. I do my best to sleep atleast seven hours. I eat normally, all the results from doctors are ok. I have had terrible headaches the whole last year, and it turned out i had an "eight" tooth ingrown. When it was surgically removed, the terrible headaches have ceased, but lately they occur again. Also, the tooth was on the right side, and so were the headaches. Even now that the tooth is removed, they still occur exclusivelly on the right side of the head.....

Hi
Too much mouse clicking can cause pressure on the cervical nerves due to associated posture and neck strain. This will not cause TMJ. However it can cause headaches and dizziness. Ingrown tooth and related surgery can however precipitate TMJ. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

thank you! is TMJ connected with too much mouse clicking??

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
The headaches could be migraine or tension headaches or due to compression of cervical spinal nerves.  It could also be temporal arteritis. The other possibility is that you have TMJ or tempero-mandibular joint disorder.
Please discuss this with your doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
