tmj

I don't know if this is a tmj problem, or a manifestation of something more serious.
But it seams that a number of widely ranging stimuli result in a contration on either side of my head, mainly the left side, which is immediately relieved by massage of the temporalis insertion on the mandible.
These stimuli include: 1)anger; 2)toxic fumes; 3)sitting in the wrong position; 4) lifting weights - wearing a hat or head band helps to minimize the sensation.
Any ideas or explanation? Tweet
