jaw pain

[jen25bl 0]

Has anyone else had jaw pain when they take a pill? I took a big antibiotic pill last night and soon after my jaw started hurting. It is still hurting this morning so not sure if it is from the huge pill or something more serious?:grouphug:

Im not sure how long you have had ur band, but if not too long it could be irritation of your diaphram. I get shoulder pain sometimes when i take my fishoil, which is a horse pill. Ive had my band 4 months. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time. The diaphram will get irritated and stimulates the sciatic nerve in your abdomen. This is the same nerve that is irritated if u are having a heart attack. It causes arm, shoulder, and jaw pain. It should pass. In th future you can ask for antibiotics and other large pills to be prescribed in liquid form, the pharmacist can mix it.

Hi:

Don't mess with jaw pain. It can be an early sign of a heart attack. Please call your doctor. Hope you're okay.
