When I am eating my evening meal my jaw clicks all the time and causes me to have trouble eating. Is is painful too, I am putting this down to my Gerd and inflamed espaphageous and from what I have have just searched on the internet there seems to be a connection. Do I book an appointment with the doctor tomorrow if I can? It’s happening every night now. I have tried stretching my jaw on the recommendation from my niece and it did work once but then it’s there again for my next meal.

I take 40mg of Esomeprozole to stop my heartburn and being sick after every meal but my body still doesn’t feel right. Like I get dizzy when bending over picking things up like I am going to pass out. I think this is all connected to each other wrongly or rightly. Perhaps I should see a doctor.

That could actually be related to long-term use of esomeprazole. These acid blockers can cause deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin B12, and calcium, which may lead to muscle tension, jaw clicking, dizziness, and fatigue. It’s a good idea to have your doctor check your blood levels for magnesium, B12, iron, and calcium.

Had my appointment yesterday, got a blood test today, and I saw a paramedic, who arranged a blood test and asked when was the last time I had an eye test, I said roughly 5-6 years ago and I have to wear glasses now, so he said get an eye test too.

Since I have come home from the appointment yesterday I thought what else could it be and dizziness seems to be a very common side effect of all my medications!

The jaw clicking he didn’t say much about but again that could be down to my medications, I also had a blood test in March as part of my yearly physical and that throw up a Vitamin D deficiency so I think that could also be why my jaw is clicking, hopefully it will just go away.
