So here I am asking for reassurance again after I said I won't do it anymore.
I'm pretty sure I have TMJ from anxiety, I've not been officially diagnosed but it'/ been implied by multiple doctors my problems were from jaw muscle tension and I have all the symptoms.
My main and most annoying struggle is ear fullness. However the newest symptom I got is that (this will sound crazy) as if there was pressure in my nose too like sort of moving there from my ears. My nose feels blocked but it's not - it's clean, but I struggle to breathe through it. My sinuses feel fine and generally I have no cold symptoms.
Do you think that could be a side symptom from TMJ? I googled a bit (I SHOULDNT I KNOW) and it did say TMJ can be associated with sinus related symptoms but at the same time googling stuff triggered a new-born fear in me - what if something else is wrong..... I had a very wide range of blood tests done, including some tumour markers and it all came out good. Surely if I had a hidden problem with my nose/sinuses something would show up in my blood tests right? And I also feel fine minus the very annoying pressure in my ears and now in my nose apparently (???) and some muscle tension pain around my jaw, so I'm not being naive telling myself not to worry right?
Also for those of you who struggled with TMJ (i imagine theres few people on this forum) anything that you found helpful? I'm not on any medications for it, I've been going to a chiropractor to relieve my neck tension (which he said is really bad), but generally I've been feeling better and I feel like I'm not tensing my jaw as much anymore but the feeling of pressure in my ears is staying the same :/ I could use some advice

also if i try to blow my nose nothing comes out but it feels like pressure goes back to my ears & it clears my nose for a couple of seconds but then it goes back to being blocked
