What Could Headache With Jaw Pain Suggest?

Hello! I have been having bad head aches, and I usually smoke pot for my anxiety but have been trying to quit. I am having trouble getting full breaths, I am paranoid, and my jaw is in severe pain from grinding. I actually need a brain scan, is this possible to get without having like a tumor? Please help

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to hcm.
I understand your problem and will try my best to help you out.

Firstly kindly donot panic about tumours and all such diseases.
You need to visit a neurologist and you need to give him the history of smoking pot.
It could be due to that or withdrawl symptoms.
The other possibilities are infections if it is accompanie with fever that is.
A thorough central nervous system examination along with certain clinical tests shall help in the diagnosis and the treatment.

For your anxiety you may also need a psychiatric consultation for antianxiety drugs.
Make sure you dont take pot or alcohol during taking such treatments.

Hope this answered your query.
Get well soon.
