Hey there,

I have been diagnosed with TMJ with myofacial pain syndrome and trigger points in the trapezius area. I have plugged ears at times and have tingly temples, ears, etc.

Yesterday I was sitting in a restaurant with my husband and some friends and all of a sudden the room started spinning and I hear like a roaring or buzzing sound and it lasted about 15 seconds and then it went away. After it was over, I was trembling in fear and also sweaty. It scared me so much that I am concerned about having a stroke or something. Has ANYONE had this before ever? Could this be TMJ? I also have thyroid disorder and also had a hysterectomy about 3 years ago.

I clench almost constantly and am having trouble stopping it and relaxing due to the symptoms. Please someone help me out!

Thanks in advance and God bless!

Danielle

This sounds like TMJ-related symptoms. I have had periods of increased dizziness usually accompanied by increased ringing in the ears. Earlier this triggered a panic attack because I didn't know what was happening.

You might also want to get checked out by an ENT for Meniere's Disease - Meniere's symptoms are typically more episodic - usually a buildup that crescendo's in an intense vertigo attack, roaring in the ears and nausea - followed by intense fatigue.
