Getting Fed Up With Dizziness Posted: 05-25-07 15:05pm
Hello,
I have recently discovered that I seem to
suffer from TMJ after a series of doctors
were unable to figure out why I was always
dizzy, having blurry vision, and
headaches. I really think the dizziness
is the worst symptom, I can even live with
the pain, but not this feeling of
disorientation like I'm in a haze. Is
there anything in particular I can do
about the dizziness?
Also, does anyone else find that walking
somehow makes these problems worse?
Lately it seems like when I sit down, it
subsides a little bit (providing I'm
sitting in the right position), but as I
walk around, something about the motion is
causing me to get really dizzy. The only
other thing that makes me that dizzy is
eating, I feel it after every meal.
Thanks for the input, this condition
really sucks!

As my TMj got worse and worse, I did start
to get dizziness, when I tilted my head
back mostly. Since my dentist has been
working on my bite, the dizziness has
gotten much better. I did notice that when
the massage therapist worked on my jaw I
was dizzy when I first stood up from the
table. I guess it is all part of the TMJ
disorder.

you may want to find a good dentist that
will work with that. dizzyness is caused
by pressure to the eustation tube in the
ear. I went to neuromuscular and dont
have that problem anymore. massage is very
good for it too. keep your chin up--there
is hope for all of us. let us know how you
are doing. if you need help finding a good
doctor let me know and ill help you.

Thanks for the replies, I am curious what
exactly a neuromuscular doctor does. Is
that a type of dentist, and are they
common or difficult to find? I am in the
New York City area, so I assume there
should be some. Thanks for your help!

A neuromuscular dentist works with the
muscles in conjunction to the teeth so
that everything is in order and you dont
have strain on the joints. etc. it really
releives dizzynes and ear problems etc.
Havent been dizzy since i started. You
should be able to easily find one. Ill pm
you a link or ill be glad to find one for
you.
