Jaw clenching, is it a meno thing?

[myidentitymycrisis]

I’m in Menopause and been having this and accompanying headache for a while (months) is this a known meno symptom?

Already on AD’s no HRT though

Glad it's not just me!
Feel like I'm going to break my teeth some night while I'm sleeping

I am on HRT though

Me too.

But I also cannot stop chewing on the inside of my mouth and lips. It’s so sore!

Me too! What's that all about? I've never clenched my jaw in my life before and it's painful!

Coupled with the anxiety.... urgh. Just want menopause to disappear.

I’m post-meno and it’s started for me recently. Could be anxiety in my case. And yes to the chewed cheeks and tongue!

I had this a lot when on sertraline - it stopped soon after I stopped taking them

I am not sure if jaw clenching is linked to the menopause.
However you can have Botox to relax the massater muscle, which can prevent you from clenching so much. It's helped my headaches.

How old are you on this thread if you dont mind me asking
I'm 45 and the jaw clenching , chewing inside of my mouth , chewing and picking at the lips is what I've been doing recently
I'm wondering if I'm pre meno too y'know

I’m 43
Not on HRT or anything. My cycles are bonkers
48 days, 82 days, 180 days, 164 days, 46 days

My other symptoms are rage, loss of my mojo and no libido.

And worrying about everything

It’s from all the Rage

Yes, me too. The dentist made me a mouth guard and it’s been a real help

I'm 48
Been on HRT about 18 months
