Is this anxiety

My jaw keeps going stiff, it starts where my neck glands are, the feeling spreads along my jaw, into my cheekbones and sometimes my teeth then feel 'tight' and once my my lips tingle, it come and goes in waves, and it's happened three times this week. Does this sound like it is related to anxiety?

Yes it does

I had this. I have bouts of anxiety. It's painful, isn't it?

Try using a meditation app like Headspace or Calm.

Thank you so much, I've been sitting here panicking in case it's heart related, silly I know but I have a huge phobia of having a heart attack. I have no other symptoms, but it still scares me!

I have something similar and also clench my teeth, which I think is related. My cheek muscles are always really tense, I sometimes get loads of twitches in my cheek muscles too. If I massage my cheeks they feel really sore. I'm not sure what I can do to improve it. I'm wondering about seeing a cranial osteopath.
