Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have jaw tightness and twitching sensation in neck and difficulty in sleeping . Well there can be many reason for the symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondolysis , bruxism which causes jaw tightness , spasm of neck muscle , wrong posture or due to conditions related to heart problem . I would suggest you to take proper rest , do not exert your body , do stretching exercise of neck and jaw muscles and start physical therapy of jaw and neck muscles . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper evaluation . Doctor will examine physically and ask you to do certain movements . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxants , anti inflammatory and vitamin supplements . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist if he/she find problem to be related with heart .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
