What Causes Nerve Pain While Brushing Teeth?
43 year old female - I often gag when brushing my teeth. This morning it happened and I threw up and immediately had an intense shock like nerve pain swept over my chest, back and shoulders area. I pushed myself to come out of it . It was very scary and not something that has happened before. Later today I was straining again while going to the bathroom and that same feeling started to come over me. What causes this? I m not sure if I need see a doctor.

Hello,
Conditions like trigeminal neuralgia must be ruled out. Drugs like gabapentin will be effective. Consult a neurologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
