Ache in cheekbones

[kaz0904]

I have anxiety, and IBS. I have just been put on Cipralex for the anxiety, and I am waiting for that to take hold.

But at the moment I have, along with the abdominal pain, an ache in my cheekbones, and back ache. I am hoping this is normal , and not the sign of something more serious. Last time I was ill with my anxiety, I had pains in my arms and legs, and thought I had DVT.

I explained all my problems to the GP and she prescribed the meds again, so I should just trust her, and believe its just anxiety. But its hard, I know all you guys will agree.

Hi Karen,

Im no doctor, but that sounds like something I had.

That sounds like something I had. I went twice to the dentist,
yep twice - hate it!, regarding aching jaw, was convinced I
had problems with my teeth.

Second time I went, he said it was due to stress. I had no
idea there was connection. It then came to light that I was suffering from anxiety.

Its probably just your body reacting the anxiety. If your not convinced,
check it out with your Doc.

Bye for now.
