nausea, dizziness wisdom teeth?

I've been having the same problems - an odd feeling like I'm on a boat, ringing in the ears, awful jaw pains etc etc. About a year ago I had one wisdom tooth out (after having a really bad week where I was in so much pain that I couldn't leave my bed and was unable to keep any food down) and around the same time I went on fluoxetine for anxiety issues. Not sure if it was a combination of the two but felt so much better pretty much immediately.

I stopped taking the fluoxetine about 4 months ago, and after suffering through the awful withdrawl period felt absolutely amazing until about 2 months ago, where everything started up again. I have two severely impacted lower wisdom teeth and one upper right that is still under the gum but coming in at a really odd angle (I had the upper left taken out last year) and my jaw is constantly under so much PRESSURE and I keep getting brain fog and spacing out and feeling quite awful (also have had a few mild panic attacks and one quite strong one). 

I've just started taking magnesium/calcium after reading about it on here - I am a very tense/anxious person and have awful knots all through my back and shoulders, so am hoping that will help with that. I definitely agree that anxiety plays a part in all of this (apparently impacted wisdom teeth can make anxiety worse, and I've had people tell me that the teeth are linked to all sorts of parts of the body and how they work, and that if something's wrong with your teeth there are ususally other symptoms that occur that you won't realise are related to your teeth).

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out in 3 days and hopefully things will start to look up! It's all driving me a little insane. I'll keep you posted!

I think I will go out & get some magnesium, I've been googling away & so far this is the site that convinced me. (Plus all of your posts) hopefully this will help with my recent insomnia.

Have your dizzy spells gone away? That's what's killing me making it unbearable to even try and work. Was thinking about going on disability. I can't focus, have extreme head pressure, eye twitching, floaters, severe panic attacks, vertigo like dizzy spells. And my wisdom teeth are impacted. I'm going to the dentist tomorrow to get it checked out and hopefully set up an appointment to have then removed. Im terrified of having them removed that's why I've waited this long but I can't deal with this dizziness and c**p of a life I'm living now because of it. All of these posts have helped I'm just crossing my fingers that when I get mine removed that the dizziness goes away before anything... Also does the magnesium help with the dizziness?

Had all 4 of my impacted teeth out 1.5 months ago.

Can't say it helped that much, I still feel pretty rough most of the time.

Any root canals in your mouth can have hidden infections that can cause all of these issues. Its basically a dead rotting organ. I know I have 5 in my mouth and 1 has always been infected. Will most likely get that tooth pulled soon. (Find a Holistc dentist that does ozone therapy)

You could also check out an upper cervical chiropracter and get your C1/C2 vertibre in your neck checked out. (NUCCA - Atlas Profilax)

Research both on google.

If its not your wisdom teeth....its most likely one of those.

I also have severe back issues as-well. Infected root canals and neck issue can cause both of those.I'll post back after I've done both.

This forum has been so helpful! In the past month I've had vertigo so badly that it lead to vomiting, today was one of them. I've also had many of the other symptoms for several years. I have 2 upper impacted wisdom teeth. I will make an appt with my dentist on Monday!

 rpalmer92 here, I've done a lot of posting in this thread over the last few months and I'm here to say that if you have the good ol' head pressure and dizziness, as well as some of the mental/emotional symptoms, it's likely that your wisdom teeth - impacted or not - have nothing to do with it. I had mine out and it did NOTHING except leave me down $3000. As Jay suggested, read up on Atlas subluxation. It's the upper most vertebra in your spine, and when it becomes twisted or misaligned, it can cause all of these symptoms. Yes, headaches, pressure, sinus issues, dizziness, depression... All of it! I'm going for the XRAYs and exams tomorrow. I'll report back back if my memory allows me to remember too lol. I'm positive it's this. I've done easily over 100 hours of research into this condition and all the symptoms and it has to be! Good luck friends.

I had two badly infected root canal'ed teeth out.....helped alot with the anxiety.

Also seen an upper cervical chiro twice now.....helps with my back / neck temp, but did not take away the headaches / dizzyness so far.

I'm now quite convinced all my issues are all caused by a TMJ disorder.

I had a accident when I was young and basically ate the pavement, which jared my jaw back a bit.

Just the smallest mis-alignment in your bite / jaw, can cause all of these issues aswell.

I saw a TMJ/TMD specialist today...and get a bite splint next week to start the process of re-aligning my bite. This should relive the pressure / tension in the mucsles around my head.

After I went to a massage therapist who did trigger point release on my head / jaw / back. It did provide some relief, I will be going back.

I'll post back after some time using my splint......

Consider seeing an Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor. They specialize in re-adjusting your 2 most upper vertebra, providing relief for the surrounding arteries, nerves etc.

Only they know about the condition known as Atlas Subluxation and how to properly deal with it using their high tech machines. I'm going for my appointment in about 2 hours!

I'll keep you guys posted on the results.

He is an Atlas Orthogonal, hard to believe that machine does anything...you'll see what I mean after you go :-)

Its most likely the wisdom teeth. Ive had ct scans blood the whol sha bang done within the past few weeks and the doctors say that im completely healthy even with the fact i smoke. Im going to get my impacted teeth pulled and let you know i feel better. Im not a doctor but from what im reading alot of people have the same problem.

I have similar symptoms and I found out my Vitimin D is very low. I found a forum where people have the same issues as us so maybe that could be somebody's issue.

Any luck in finding out what's wrong yet Jay?

Or anyone for that matter?

I've still got the mild to moderate pressure in my head every day, with the occasional more severe migraine type headache. Along with this there's still the fatigue, mood swings, shooting pains behind my eyes etc.

Hi Rpalmer92,

I'm not cured, but I'm definitely feeling better than I was a month ago.

I sure my head issues have to do with my jaw / neck...one is causing the other and/or bad dental bite.

I'm sleeping with my custom orthotic bite split I got from my neuromusculer dentist.

Magnesium does help alot....but you have to take way more than daily amount. 1000-1500mg a day. Will probably mess up your stomach a bit, but its worth it. Try to spread it out, and take two before bed.

Rub magnesium oil on your body / face / neck throughout the day....alternate with peanut oil for sore muscles.

Also look into anti stress herbs...Rhodiola / L-Theanine.

Start getting cranial sacral and upper cervical therapy.

I've only seen a Upper cervical guy twice..but will start going back next week now that I have my bite split.

Research edgar cayces head / neck exercises.

I also completely cut out Gluten from my diet...and cut down a lot on dairy...that has helped a lot with inflammation and digestion issues...which helps me sleep better.

Hope this helps you.

Jay

I FIRST HAD SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES AND HAD GONE TO MY GP TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PHARYNGITIS AND LARYNGITIS 4 TIMES AND WAS ON ANTIBIOTICS FOR THIS, I THEN ASKED TO BE REFERED TO AN ENT SPECIALIST NO INFECTION I EXPLAINED MY SYMPTOMS TO HIM SUCH AS SWOLLEN GLANDS AND SORE TO TOUCH, EARACHE HEADACHES, SHOOTING PAINS BEHIND THE EYES, CONSTANT DIZINESS, NAUSEA, SERVERE FATIGUE, HE SUGGESTED IT IS EITHER ME GRINDING MY TEETH IN MY SLEEP OR ITS MY WISDOMS HE THEN REFERED ME TO THE DENTIST. I HAD DONE X-RAYS TO FIND THAT 3 OF MY WISDOMS ARE HORIZONTALLY IMPACTED WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE NOT EMERGED AT ALL!!!! HE THEN REFERED ME TO A MAXILLIOFACIAL SERGEON SO THET THEY CAN CUT OPEN THE GUM TO GET TEETH OUT AND SOMETIMES REQUIRES REMOVAL OF BONE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY BENIFITS FOR MEDICAL AID AND CAN THEREFORE NOT GET THIS SURGERY DONE SO I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PAIN UNTIL I HAVE THE MONE

I commented a few months ago on this. I got my wisdom teeth removed but didn't notice any difference. I later found out I had a condition known as cervical kyphosis, where your cervical spine loses it's natural backwards curve. I have had the same symptoms many of you have described, and suggest you find a chiropractor or pain doctor that could look into this for you.
