lower tooth pain follow by chest pain

Im an healthy 50 year old guy. just paid a small fortune on root canal treatment last year all as been fine till Monday off this week pulsing pain again in the same tooth.i get pain in my jaw front teeth .but the worrying pain I get travels into my chest.i had this last year as well I thought it was heart pain.but its not. its tooth ache at the most painfull thing you can get.

Hi all just looking at this and I'm getting the same and I burp slightly as well. I just notice it's when I'm anxious. A dull chest ache on left side and a dull sensation under the power left molar. Other wise the tooth its self is fine no pain eat and drink fine. Had a heart exam and all fine. I came across a Tibetan medical term called "loong" that described the symptoms to a T. It's translates as wind disorder caused by over thinking over focusing and over stressing. I can be a very nervous individual under the surface and the body can store this and it does affect the chi flow for the heart and lungs causing pain in chest, jaw, feel dizzy and irrational phobias. Take a break, calm down and do something different that gives you different thoughts, recognise what your triggers are. The simplest solution is often the correct one. Its known as meditation sickness. Anxiety disorder can manifest causing the above simptoms. Hope this helps. Exercise strengthen the body Pilates yoga Tai chi because these practices focus on breath regulation.

I wear dentures and the pain started in my mouth around the dentures. Then it went to my head and then my chest. It was scary. I do suffer from anxiety but never had this to happen before. Didn't last more than 2 minutes and went away.

Same kind of pains as described by many of you. Mine seems to start in the center of the chest just beneath and slightly above the Zyphoid process. At about the same time, I notice pain in my bottom and top teeth all of the way around. Both build over time once it starts. Went to doc, who said heart is fine. I will mention 2 things that work/worked for me.
- The sooner I take an Aspirin (200 mg normal white, and I chew it), the more quickly it goes away. Started doing that when I thought it might be heart issue, and still do it because it works.
- Doc once had me do FloNaise twice a day for several weeks as a suggestion for this issue (no idea why). However, for that time, and for several months after, I did not experience this pain (no idea why, or if coincidental.

Chewing a regular Aspirin definitely has an almost immediate positive effect on these symptoms for me. Hope that is helpful to some. Maybe chewing the Aspirin sooths the teeth...no idea, but it works consistently for me.

After reading through several posts, I noticed a couple patterns with this tooth-chest pain mystery.

1. The need for root canals/tooth root-related condition
2. Anxiety
3. Serotonin-related condition and medications
4. Normal medical test results
5. Aspirin helping the pain

Unfortunately, I have really bad teeth and have needed--and still need--several root canals. Whenever a tooth gets particularly painful, these episodes of chest pain also start up. They go away after I have the root canal, so I think it's referred pain and the stress of being in so much pain. (Tooth pain is no joke!)

The patterns interested me, though, because I have anxiety and am on a serotonin-influencing medication to treat it. I'm starting to wonder if low/fluxuating serotonin levels predispose a person to this specific kind of referred pain. It could also be that being anxious to begin with starts our stress-meter out high so we respond more intensely to the stress of being in acute pain.

As for Aspirin, I use Alka-Selter Cold to treat this kind of pain because it often comes with blocked sinuses and inner ear pain. I find the decongestant helps quite a pit, but the pain medication is A-S Cold is aspirin. I thought it was interesting and am tempted to try just a plain aspirin to see if it is as effective for me as the A-S Cold.

Whatever the underlying cause, please take heart in knowing that having dental work halts this odd pain for me and maybe that's the answer you need as well. I'm looking forward to the day when my dental work is complete and I will--hopefully--never have to experience this again!

My husband has the same issue. The pain begins in a lower back molar then to his jaw, down his neck and culminates with chest burning. He likens the chest burning to running up and down the basketball court as fast as possible.
He has had a full cardiac work up - nuclear stress test, two echos, EKG’s, chest x-rays, etc. All came back negative. This odd event occurred again this evening and he is frustrated - and grumpy.

Esophageal spasms! Very painful!

This is from a tooth infection of some kind, whether a cracked tooth or cavity or abscess at the root, bad bacteria fm the infected tooth is leaking into the blood stream. It CAN be linked with heart attacks, cancer and other bodily issues. Don’t worry but do get your teeth x-rayed, but NOT by a regular dentist. Only a Higgins protocol dentist will understand what to look for. Your teeth are linked with all of your body and Huggins protocol dentists are trained to fix them properly. Do NOT get a root canal and also, a lot of dentists have the last name Huggins, but that’s not the same as the Huggins-Grube protocol. Even if you can’t see their dentists, educate yourself on their protocol so you understand what’s happening. God bless!
