Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms do not seem to be related to any possible seizures. The troubles with breathing may be caused by anxiety (or a low control of anxiety from an insufficient dose of
clonazepam).
I would like to explain that there are different disorders, which can cause pain in this region :
1- A temporal-mandibular junction arthritis
2- A
temporal arteritis 3- An infection of the soft tissues or the sinuses
I recommend you to consult with the GP for a careful physical examination, a routine
blood test, inflammation tests, thyroid hormone levels, kidney and liver function tests and blood pressure monitoring.
A chest x ray may be necessary to rule out other possible causes of
hyperventilation.You may need to discuss with your attending physician on a possible increase in the doses of clonazepam.
A brain CT scan may be necessary to exclude a possible sinusitis or a brain lesion.
I would also advise you to consult with your
dentist, for a better examination of the temporal-mandibular junction.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings! Dr. Iliri
