Stress can trigger both migraine and tension-type headache. Events like getting married, moving to a new home, or having a baby can cause stress. But studies show that everyday stressesânot major life changesâcause most headaches.
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.
