Diagnosed with sinus tachycardia, no treatment, gave up smoking, stone overweight, jaw pain. Cause and cure?
Patient: I am a 37year old women, diagnosed a couple of years ago with sinus tachycardia , no treatment, gave up smoking two years ago, 3 stone overweight. Past week have woken up with jaw pain on my left side, which abates during the day. No history of clenching teeth nor grinding when asleep, slight discomfort in left elbow and shoulder, but not sure if I would have noticed if not for the jaw pain, concerned it could be heart related. Father had heart attack at 51. Or is this jaw pain dental related? Doctor: Hi,  Thanks for asking the query,  Pain in the jaws is not related to heart diseases. It may occur due to infectious lesions like tooth abscess gingival lesions draining in the oral cavity, there could be presence of cysts and beningn and malignant lesions in the jaw, dislocation of the jaw, impacted wisdom tooth. I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done. Exact diagnosis can be made on clinical and radiological examination . For tachycardia you need to consult a Physician and get the checkup done.  Hope this helps out.  Regards..
