What Causes Pressure Like Pain While Laughing?
I get a significant pressure/tightening type pain when I laugh. Just now started. Not typically a smoker, will have a couple cigarettes if I have had a few extra drinks on the weekends or something. Have had a bit of a dry cough for a few days, but nothing persistent. Have never had this before. What could it be?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Muscle pains throughout the face and jaw are often caused by Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction.
It should be evaluated by an orthopedist.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
