I have seriously decaying teeth. Granit, they are scheduled to start getting fixed tomorrow, but I am wondering if anyone else has experineced what I am experiencing.
I am tired. My chest feels tight. Not hurting, just tight. I am also having multiple panic attacks daily. Obviously, my teeth are hurting. My neck hurts some. I get headaches. I am definately starting to feel it in my sinuses.
Like I said, I am getting them dealt with tomorrow morning. I was just wondering if anyone has ever felt all this due to bad teeth, and if so, how long after you got them fixed did you start to feel better?
Thanks in advance to all who answer!

I should add that I have been feeling like this for a couple weeks. And, in the past like day or two, I started to lose my appetite some.
No fever. I am 26, and aside from my stupid teeth, I have always been healthy.
My dentist says my tooth decay is coming from several areas. A little bit heredity, I don't have strong teeth. And, a lot becuase I am a big pop drinker.
Thanks again.

I am 27 and haven't been to a dentist in 10 yrs or more. I just got ins. coverage and have an appointment. My molars are pretty bad, they're severely broken and decayed. I too have had neck, shoulder, and back pain, along with other pains . I imagine that as soon as I get them fixed I should start to notice immidiate changes in my overall health. Your teeth are supposed to affect you dramatically, even a pregnant woman's bad teeth can affect her unborn child's health and could even lead to premature birth! Teeth are apparently more important then we thought they were!

I feel for you.
I also have had some dental issues, not as bad as what you are going through but the headache and sinus effects sound all too familiar. I had about 7 cavities, had to get a root canal and some extractions. But when all was said and done I came out feeling 100% better about a week after the dentist did most of the complicated work. Hang in there, at least you are getting it taken care of.

I'm sure most of it is just stress over your teeth. Keep in mind that the dentist will fix you right up and soon your aching teeth will be gone and maybe that will reduce some of the stress. Try to relax and hopefully some of your symptoms will go away. Soon enough you will be toothache free and you can get on with everything else. Just relax and take care of yourself! Also, try seeing a doctor after your dentist appointment. It will suck seeing a dentist and then a doctor right after but it's for your own good.

oh you poor thing, you pain sounds like it's due to an unrelated health problem. i am also getting my teeth fixed in 2 days. my teeth are eroding away, they are soooo sensitive, and chipping off everywhere. i'm getting them all capped and gleaming white, dental work is soooo outrageously expensive though. i also am a heavy pop drinker. you should really see a doctor, i believe you have some additional health issues you need to address asap. the headaches are probably stress related, and it's probable that if your in good health, that your pain is all stress related. i'ev also experienced loss of appetite because i have no enamel, and it hurts like hell to eat.

I will just comment that I had 13 extractions and dentures. As soon as the extractions were finished, I felt better, even though I should have been in extreme pain from the procedure. Just that feel-good feeling convinced me I had made the right choice.

You could be suffering from anxiety over having your teeth worked on. Not that uncommon.
Just try to relax. If your dentist is good he will try to make you as comfortable as possible during your treatment. If you get too uptight during the process ask your dentist if he uses Nitrous Oxide. (laughing gas) It will help relax you . If not go to your medication doctor explain your symptoms and ask if he could prescribe you something to take when you go to your dentist.
