No, you canât lovemake your way to lean. But you can absolutely sleep your way to slender. In fact, no matter how many pounds you press, how many miles you log, how much kohlrabi you crunch, it wonât get you anywhere near your weight loss goals unless youâre also getting enough quality sleep.
In brief: Very common. Sure, TMJ problems can cause facial muscle spasms. It's usually the jaw muscles, on the side of the jaw (the masseter muscle) and on the side of the head or temples (the temporalis muscle) that go into spasm and cause pain from TMJ problems.
When pain is always on your mind and you donât know when it will flare up next, it becomes a contributing factor for your stress. Other symptoms associated with TMJ such as tinnitus and migraines can also disrupt your peace of mind. Incidentally, stress can also cause or exacerbate TMJ symptoms and cause you headaches. Many people clench and grind their teeth during periods of stress, which can fatigue your jaw joint or cause a bad bite to form.
