Hello,

To rule out dental issues you should get your dentures examined by a dentist. Sometimes jaw pain can be due to temporomandibular (TMJ) joint pain. You can take analgesics for relief from the dental issues.

However, since you have a history of high blood pressure & are having dizziness, confusion, skipping beats, jawline pain & having shortness of breath, you are suggested to visit a cardiologist & get physically examined.

You will need to go through blood workouts, lipid profile, X-RAY, ECG, Echocardiography & stress tests to detect any developing CAD.

Stay away from addictions if any, take homemade food & adequate rest. Exercise regularly.

Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
