Hello all. I have a few questions regarding wisdom teeth. I will be having all four of mine removed on August 6th. I have been having pain in my jaw and sinus issues. I have been sick for about two months now. It started as a stomach infection and then moved to an ear/sinus infection.

All blood work thus far has been normal.

Can impacted wisdom teeth cause extreme fatigue, nausea, and other symptoms?

I have been looking on other sites as well as this one and I wanted to get a clear answer/experiences with this.

I went to my oral surgeon and he checked for an infection and there wasn't anything there. He did say that I have a severe case of TMJ which is probably acting up because of the wisdom teeth. Here is pretty much a list of symptoms that I am having.

-Fatigue and being extremely tired
-Trouble sleeping
-Brain Fog and just feeling out of it
-Tightness in jaw, swelling
-Ear aches accompanied with ear warmness
-Nausea (not all of the time but generally in the morning)
-Headaches
-Slight anxiety (again not all of the time)
-Eye floaters (I went to the eye doctor a few days ago and my eyes checked out fine)--I only started having these when my teeth became an issue.

I did purchase a night guard.

I am going to get checked for Lyme disease once I get paperwork from my doctor (even though my internal doctor states that I do not show any of the signs of it). I know that Lyme can bring on TMJ and a list of other symptoms as well. My bite is off and has been confirmed by my dentist and the oral surgeon.

Has anyone else experienced these symptoms? What I am most concerned about is the brain fog and fatigue. I have a feeling it has to do with all of my wisdom teeth coming in. Two months of being sick and feeling like crap I am starting to run out options for answers and getting a little scared.

What is your stress level like? I don't mean over this particular issue but with life in general.

Stress can cause many of the symptoms you've listed. May I ask you age? Are you male or female?

My stress level is negligible. I love my job, girlfriend, where I live and life. I am more or less "stressed" over being sick.

Stats about me:

Male
24
184 pounds
Before I got sick I was running close to 5 miles a day, lifting, daily workout etc.
5'10"

I am happy about my life (with the exclusion of all of this). My doctor had given me medication for depression however I have neglected to take it because I feel it is all stemming from this.

Then all you can probably do is get the wisdom teeth out and see if you feel better or take the anti depressants and see if they help.

That is what I am banking on. I am also looking to see if other people had similar symptoms as mine when their wisdom teeth were coming in. I do thank you for your input though. :-)

Are you still here? I am going through the Same thing. I am getting extractions very soon and I hope it helps. I have been to many doctors and had lots of bloodwork to no avail. I hope this is the answer. Please update me on your progress!

Wisdom teeth coming in can be annoyingly uncomfortable. Especially if you have all 4 and they're coming in all together. ANd forget it if you don't have room for them and they're all discombobulated. I do agree with the night guard. A lot of the time when you're stressing you could grind or clench your teeth which in turn, screws up the whole TMJ. I would def have them taking out. They're nothing but trouble. See if that works. Then if you don't feel better, try the medication. The most important thing is to stay positive. Your mind controls your body. I hope everything works out for you... Keep us posted..

I'm going through the same with no insurance I hope this issue constitutes an emergency so I can get something done

I am a 20 year old male with the same problems. I have history of Lyme Disease so I am going to get it checked out this upcoming week but the similar symptoms are brain fog, fatigue, and anxiety. My teeth were in pain about a month ago but I just let it subside thinking it would just go away. I will keep you updated on my progress.

Hey, I'm new to this forum and I am having the same symptoms! My wisdoms are coming in and I'm getting the eye floaters, sinus problems, nasty fatigue, and even digestive problems. Did you get your wisdoms out? Did anything improve, blazing?

I think I have the same problem. I am in the same boat as you when it comes to Fatigue, Dizziness, sinus pressure, eye floaters etc. but my doctors can't figure it out either. My wisdom teeth may be the problem as well considering my teeth have been killing me off and on. My dentist told me 2 years ago they wanted them out but I didn't feel like dealing with the pain of getting them removed, they even gave me a squirt thing to clean the flap in rip in my gums but I don't use it. I am thinking somehow it got infected from long term expsoure and am going to set up and appointment to get them out before they cause further complications. The nerves in your gums can cause a lot of problems with your brain because their so close to each other. Wisdom teeth are tricky.

Has anybody seen results since having there wisdom teeth removed? I get mine took out tomorrow and I've been having a lot of the same problems. I went to a ENT and he said I had TMJ. Mosdt likely due to my Wisdom teeth.I've had Sinus, Ear, and Throat problems since January. It always feels like something is in the back of my throat. Not painful just gets on my nerves.The worst part is the brain fog followed by fatigue. I've been like this for so long. I went to a dentists cause the docs couldn't find anything and I had 3 wisdom teeth and also an abscessed tooth. I got the abscessed removed and I'm feeling better. But I still don't feel quiet right. I've had bloodwork and all that and everything is normal. I don't know what to do if it's not my Wisdom teeth. What else could it be? I'm at the end of my rope. I don't want to live the rest of my life feeling like I'm not all there. I'm a 22 year old male and up till recently I've never had any heath problems.

Hello all! I'm new to this forum! I hope we can help each other. Blazing, tam, auty, gloomy, and kirk I just want to say that I'm going through the SAME thing! My wisom teeth having been erupting for four years and it's clear they are impacted. They(just guess) cause me the exact list of symptoms you have posted! I hope everything will change after the extraction

Mine don't know the root of this entanglement too. It's very confusing

I have been having similar problems! I am very interested to hear how you all feel after you got the wisdom teeth out? I have been having swollen glands, itchy sore throat, fatigue, digestive problems and a general head cold feeling on and off for 7 months now. All tests came back clear. My back teeth and gums have been tender and sore but no sign of an infection but x-rays show my wisdom teeth are impacted. I'm so sick of feeling sick!

Since April 2012, I have had similar issues with headaches, sinus problems and mostly the brain fog. This started after a particular period of stress in my life and dental work, had a filing removed and a crown. I also have had TMJ for many years and wear a night guard. Because these symptoms have lasted for four months, I recently found out about and went to a dentist who specializes in neuromuscular dentistry. He hooked me up to a TENS unit that is to relax the muscles in the jaw and is making an orthodontic for me to wear night and day to realign my bite. It might be worth doing research on this.

I am having these exact symptoms at the moment. Did the symptoms clear once the teeth were removed and healed? Any advice appreciated.

I have only one wisdom tooth coming in and it is stuck bone against bone. My symptoms include tiredness, dizziness, ear pressure and pain one and off, neck pain,stiffness in neck and shoulder,and my tongue started sore and led to extreme pain in right side of tongue stabbing pains on and off. And now symptoms are much less painful but I am extremely tired and feel out of it like when you are sick or took cold medicine. This has been ongoing for a week. At first I had no idea where the symptoms were coming from because my actual tooth and gums do not hurt at all and still do not. I have no infection but the out of it/tired fatigue feeling bothers me the most. I go tues for a second opinion on getting the tooth removed finally! I feel for you guys. This is no fun at all and scary when you feel so bad and are not sure why and then you hope it is only the wisdom tooth causing all this and not some other problem. I will keep you updated.

I also had throat pain like I was getting sick and felt swollen under jaw -this went away after 3 days .

Omg this is such a relief.

All these random symptoms, and only recently did the teeth themselves start bothering me.

I've had sore throat, digestive problems, eye pain, ear pain, headache, eye floaters, fatigue, and anxiety stemming from all of it.

and now this topic has pretty much confirmed for me that it's the wisdom teeth that are doing it somehow

can't even believe this lol

Hello all.

I have had the same symptoms as you guys.

The fatigue thing is the worst and it's really hard to describe. It's not your normal exhaustion fatigue. Usually for me it comes in like an hour after I wake up (if it does, sometimes it doesn't), and the feeling is like I'm being squeezed out of all my life source, not really energy, if I start doing some sports or something I will be able to do them without much problem, but when I'm sitting I just feel so lethargic and weird, sort of hungover and just general bad.

I've had trouble with my wisdom teeth for about as long as I've had these symptoms, so I'm really hoping this can sort it out.

I'm going to have them removed this Friday (22th February) and I will bookmark this page and let you guys know.

Keep your fingers crossed!

Hello everyone,
I have had these same symptoms, for around 8 months now, I have had a million tests, but everything came back normal, I had brain scans, a lumber puncture, ongoing blood tests, and I had my eyes checked. I became very anxious, with not knowing what was wrong with me, which led to me falling into a deep depression.
Reading all everything you guys have wrote, really clicked, my wisdom teeth have been coming in and out for around a year now, and they get so sore to the point where I can barely talk. I think its time for a trip to the dentist! I will let you all know how I end up,
Thank you, emily.

Hello! My name is Graham from Galway.
I am 41 years old. I had my two top wisdom teeth removed. The left one when I was 21 years old and the right one last year.

I have two bottom ones left. I had a temperature (cold) recently and I took paracetamol to get through it. I have a HEADACHE now. The pain moves from the centre of my head to the front. The back of my head feels drowsy.

To add to that my eyes feel tired when I look at writing in the distance such as print on a CD collection. That's what you mean by floater-good way to describe the eye condition.

I used the internet to Google headache caused by the impact of wisdom teeth.
I AM going to see my dentist tomorrow to arrange the extraction.
I AM relaxed now. Not worried.
So don't worry yourself. The headache will go after you have the extraction.

Good luck
Graham

Wisdom teeth just coming in, impaction or tooth infection, root canal infections can cause symptoms similar to lymes but iT IS NOT lyme and many doctor will think the symptoms look like it but it is NOT the symptoms of wisdom tooth, tooth infections and root canal infections are very debiltating and MD are not educated in the are of dentistry so they DO NOT KNOW don't expect for them to unless you get lucky and have a super smart intergrative MD he or she might know. .
Symptoms for wisdom tooth or root canal infection, or tooth infection
LONG LIST OF SYMPTOMS. .
Low grade fever or high fever,
Nausea, dizziness. Heart pounding or skipping beats, teeth infections usually go for the heart or the heart valves , shortness of breath,

Run to a holistic dentist

I'm just curious, does anybody get any stabbing pains in their head? Especially around the eye area? I get pretty well the symptoms listed... The anxiety more often because it's came to a point where I'm always googling and getting bad results lol.. anyway let me know people!

I have had this stabbing pain in my left eye for almost 3years to the point I thought I was going to lose my sight. I went to the dentist and she told me my lower left tooth is abnormally swollen and inflated and I should do an x-ray to extract it.

I know your probably no longer looking at this thread but I am in the same dilemma the past few months.

My to right wisdom teeth have been trying to push through for over a year now, but are impacted. My bottom left wisdom tooth has just now started to come up. I do not have a top left one. I will be getting them all removed in the next months.

I'm getting migraines out of nowhere
Eye spots/floaters - can't look at iPhone screens easily
Ear pain/aches
Infection in my lymph nodes in my neck
Yellow tongue
Brain fog
The exhaustion/fatigue is unbearable.
Jaw clenching - I do sleep with a night guard in because I'm a grinder.

While I have fibromyalgia, many of these symptoms are out of the ordinary and/or even worse from these stupid teeth coming in.

Yes

Whoops,

Guys I've been suffering for about 3 years with very similar symptoms to the ones you describe - mainly anxiety, sinus issues (worse when flying long distances) and a weird kind of fatigue that you can shake off if you want to play sport - but when at rest makes you feel lazy. I also find it hard to talk to people sometimes because of tmj like jaw ache and mild dizziness - it gets worse when talking to someone your nervous about talking with. I also have a new post nasal drip symptom which seems to only really affect me after sleeping where I bring up yellow mucus every morning (no cough though).

I'm getting a CAT scan on my sinuses but am interested in this wisdom tooth theory. Think I'll get them removed and see what happens.

It's annoying that after all your posts - nobody replied to say whether it worked or not. Or does the no reply tell us that it did work and now they're far to healthy to bother to reply.

I'm sure most of you have been told it's CFS or fibro - but this is essentially just a label when doctors don't know what it is that's wrong with you. I suspect it is something else - my gut feeling is some kind of chronic virus - as doesn't seem to respond to antibiotics. But I hope it's as simple as wisdom teeth

Me too me too! My Wisdom teeth came in in May of this year. Not long after I started having anxiety (severe), jaw pressure, sinus problems, headaches (not too severe unless it's my cycle) and eye problems all on my left side which is the tooth that now aches. Although the tooth did come through all the way. The most concerning symptoms, are the fatigue, brain fog, and something called hippus which is the rapid osculation and contraction of the pupil on that side. I had a tooth removed on that side almost two years ago from a cavity and when the dentist did my x-rays they told me I would never be able to have an implant put in because all of my sinuses were messed up and intertwined up in there abnormally. So in order to get an implant I would have to undergo sinus reconstructive surgery. Now since my wisdom tooth has come in I am wondering if that pressure is making all the funny things happen because of the sinuses. I know that it's all connected up in there. My anxiety has gone down quite a bit in the past month or so just because I know it's in God's hands because I cannot afford to go to the doc. When I had brain scans not long ago everything was fine and normal. No double or blurry vision, no floaters. Everything is okay except the brain fog, hippus, jaw discomfort, and fatigue... (occasional headache) HELP!

Some stats about me

Female, age 25. Have had 3 children in between 2009 and 2012. 180 lbs. 5'5, other than this I have been super duper healthy my whole life. I am physically active and a very healthy eater.

Everyone,

Please keep us posted on your results.

I'm a 26 year old male, very, very dedicated to my nutrition and exercise. Have all four wisdom teeth in. I recently started getting floaters in my left eye (only) as well as weird shooting pains in the right side of my head, as well as significant bouts of anxiety. Will get my wisdom teeth out and see if this helps...

Hi everyone,

I'm 21 and have had all of these symptoms (constant headaches, fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, tinnitus, eye floaters, sinus pressure and anxiety) for 4 months. I've been to see over 10 doctors and they say that nothing is physically wrong with me and told me it is chronic fatigue and depression. I knew that was not what it was and by chance, I decided to go to the dentist. I was told I have severely impacted lower wisdom teeth which are infected and the dentist said they are causing the headaches and general unwellness.

Thank God! Up until I found this out, I was losing my mind, thinking I was dying of some strange disease that no-one would ever find but now I am convinced that all of these horrible symptoms are coming from the darn wisdom teeth. I have an extremely small jaw and so there is just no room for them to come through, putting incredible pressure on my other teeth, nerves and jaw muscles. If anyone is experiencing these symptoms and doctors cannot find anything wrong - go see your dentist asap! It could save your sanity and get you back to your normal life again.

I am seeing the dentist again tomorrow to schedule removal of the evil wisdoms and I will update this page when they are eventually out (I promise) - hope everyone else is coping okay with their symptoms.

Much love,

Kelly

Hi,

I've been going through all of the same things for the last 6 months - the constant headaches, brain fog, trouble balancing, fatigue, stabbing pains in all over head, sinus problems, dizziness, vertigo whilst laying down, moderate to severe bouts of anxiety + panic attacks and the other common ones - I was diagnosed with severely impacted lower and upper wisdom teeth and am due to get them out in a little over a month.

My GP has told me my cervical spine and deep neck muscles could also be contributing to these symptoms and has sent me for an X-ray. I'm due to see him tomorrow to discuss that side of it.

What I wanted to know was, has anyone had any luck in farewelling these symptoms after the extraction of the impacted wisdom teeth!

I'm so anxious to know if I'll be fixed for good!!

Thanks
Ryan P from Australia

Hi Ryan,

Just wanted to reply and let you know you're not alone.

Been experiencing all of these things for a long time too and have done a lot of research which confirms that all of the symptoms described can be explained by impacted wisdom teeth.

If you want to read more, here is a link to another forum where numerous people describe the same things and are then cured/relieved when their teeth are taken out - nausea, dizziness wisdom teeth? · Oral and Dental Health discussions | Body & Health Conditions center | SteadyHealth.com (http://www.steadyhealth.com/nausea__dizziness_wisdom_teeth__t174968.html)

Stay strong, they will be out soon and you'll be back to normal health when recovered.

All the best,

Kelly

Hi Kelly, thanks for your reply, it definitely makes me feel better about the whole situation.

I am not 100% convinced it is my wisdom teeth, but at least I've got something to look forward to, a light at the end of the tunnel, per se, with the surgery in January.

Have you had your wisdom teeth out and successfully been cured prior to surgery?
Or have you literally been told by your oral surgeon or GP or anyone that this is definitely the cause?

It's just so hard to believe anyone/anything now as I've been told so many different things - from a brain infection (encephalitis), to neck problems, to vitamin B12 and D deficiency, to thyroid problems, to simple anxiety, and even been told it's my brain literally creating the symptoms from nothing because I ponder on it so much.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better about the situation, I can sympathise with you 100%, as I've been going through the same hellish situation.

Indeed, I have that 'light at the end of the tunnel' coming up, as my surgery is scheduled for the end of January - I cannot wait, to say the least!

I know it's hard to just accept that all of these weird symptoms are the result of impacted wisdom teeth. I have spent the better part of 6 months frantically trying to find out what is wrong with me - I have had more sleepless nights than I care to remember, thinking that I was dying, that I had some awful condition etc. etc.
I have visited so many doctors I can't even count, have had blood tests for anemia, b12 deficiency and thyroid issues. All have come back fine - I have been examined, had my reflexes tested, my eyes tested (including a photo of the back of my eye which shows the pressure inside your head - all good, so brain tumour very unlikely, also these symptoms don't follow the clinical pattern), blood pressure tested, all good. Physically, I am incredibly well as far as I can tell.

All of which to say is that I got to a point where I simply had to accept that the symptoms I am experiencing are due to my impacted wisdom teeth. I am not dead after 6 months of feeling like this, and no signs of anything more serious have presented after all this time.
The research I have done online, reading countless posts from people experiencing the same symptoms who also have impacted wisdom teeth which have not been removed was what finally made me relax and just accept that that is 99.999% most likely what is wrong with me.

Since accepting this and (perhaps not so patiently waiting for the surgery), my symptoms have reduced a little bit in intensity. Stress is a powerful thing. I think experiencing anxiety and helplessness over your health is one of the most terrifying things someone can go through, and it will have an effect on how well you feel. I have felt weak to the point of no return simply because of the overwhelming worry, stress and helplessness.

Try your best, if you can, to accept as much as possible that what you are feeling is temporary and not dangerous. It will be over soon. I'm sure you will begin to feel even marginally better if you relax a bit about what you are going through. I know I did.

I previously had my upper wisdom teeth removed (around 3-4 months ago), they were causing me pain but they were not fully impacted - they were coming out sideways and could be removed without anesthetic in the dentist's chair. Since they were removed, my symptoms lessened a bit but they came back a few weeks after I had recovered. The dentist didn't tell me my lower wisdoms were impacted (even though they have an x ray on file) and so I had to scrabble around desperately for months trying to find out what was wrong again until I had the sense to re-visit the dentist and ask whether there were any issues with my lowers. They are completely impacted under the gum (can't see anything), so it is understandable that they are causing major issues.

I could write all day about this, it has been my life for the past 6 months after all.
Wisdom teeth are evil. I will end it there - haha!

If there's anything you want to ask me, go for it - I'll respond as quickly as I can.

Hang in there - this too shall pass.

Kelly

Hey Kelly,

Thanks so much for getting back to me again and sorry I took so long to reply. Had a big Christmas and I actually couldn't remember the site or thread name that we were discussing this in - damn "brain fog" LOL!

I go under in 8 days on the Monday. I cannot wait. I'm slightly nervous about being put out against my will as I have never had gen. anaesthetic before, but the thought of being symptom free post recovery is too high to make me back out haha.

The X-ray I have of my teeth shows just how bad they are. The roots are pushing against the nerves running down my jaw and the actual crown of the teeth are embedded in the molars next to them. I also have a molar that's got a massive cavity in it that I had filled and it kept decaying which just so happens to have roots in my maxillary sinus, so I've been getting a lot of sinus infections and pain in the front of my head and around that tooth.

I know how you feel. It's not nice to constantly question your own well being, to think you are going to live the rest of your days in pain and to top it all off, have everyone supporting you, only then to turn around and look at you like some mental-case and hypochondriac because you haven't dropped dead yet lol.

Quite frankly, I'm sick of feeling and being like this. I used to be such a happy, vibrant person. Now, I'm dull and boring and painful to be around - just like my head haha.

Here's to hoping it's fixed after the extraction!!

Ryan

Hi - so relieved I'm not the only one... Mines been going on for 2 years now though :(... All same symptoms - I had my upper wisdom teeth out and my right lower one out but they've left the left side lower wisdom as it's impacted and growing sideways... I too noticed a slight relief in symptoms but it's still all there just not as bad as a year ago... I've been told lots of dif things - labrythintus , sinus infection, glue ear , tmj etc etc I had MRI done which showed a change in brain relating to a form of migraine - ct scan showed narrow inflamed sinuses - a few times I've had ears checked they have noted bubbles behind eardrum - ENT noted retracted eardrum and couldn't get the camera up my right nostril - I've been giving many dif pills and sprays and drops but none wrk / sudofed slightly eases the headaches and betahistine eases the balance issue - I hate being this way before all this I was a vibrant mum now I suffer slight anxiety when ever I'm out and about - the fuzzy head ( brain fog) and vision problems ( blurred vision ) scare me - and I'm not sure if you get this but it's all worse during monthlys :( - please let me know if getting your wisdom teeth out help...

Regards

And happy new year

You certainly aren't the only one!

Been feeling like this for about 6 months - it's hell isn't it?!

I'll be sure to let y'all know whether getting the wisdom teeth out helps any.

Flossie is a dental hygienist blazing sun, so this is the best input you will get here. Wisdom teeth cause problems for your other teeth. I find it unusual that this issue would cause you so many problems. Advise you to just have them removed and avoid 'whole' mouth issues eventually.

Years ago I had no such symptoms with a good dentist to explain.

Hey all!

I had my four impacted wisdom teeth and an infected upper left first molar out yesterday morning under general anaesthetic. I can say with confidence that I feel better already in regards to those symptoms we all hate. I don't have that annoying dull pressure headache any more, I feel wayyyyy less anxious, I don't feel the brain fog and "retarded-ness", heck, I'm doped up on Panadeine Forte and I still feel more alert and sharper than I did pre-extraction.

I'm very certain this isn't a placebo effect and that I am for the best part... cured!

Yesterday and this morning have been extremely painful and uncomfortable due to the swelling, bleeding, throbbing pains in my mouth, but honestly it's so worth it just to feel that veil being lifted off you slowly, so to speak :)

I'll report back in a few days.

Regards,
Ryan

That's great Ryan, I'm really pleased you already feel better :) I'm sure you'll just keep on getting better and more back to yourself as you recover!

I'm just back from my consultation at the hospital in order to remove my lower impacted wisdom teeth and I feel like screaming.

The NHS are awful, budget conscious vultures who would rather throw pills at a problem than spend any money on a procedure for someone who has been in pain for months. The consultant tried to tell me that the pain I am feeling (which I can 100% state I know is coming from the impacted teeth) is actually a TMJ issue which is unconnected, and oh, we'll give you a prescription for antidepressants and you shouldn't need to remove the impacted teeth.
They even tried to put me off the removal by emphasising the risk of losing sensation in the lower lip if I have the surgery, because my teeth are pressing against the nerves in my jaw (and they say the teeth shouldn't be causing me issues/pain?? ).

B*gger them sideways - put myself on the waiting list for the wisdom teeth removal and now have to wait another few months... yay.

I am so disheartened with the NHS - it's a disgusting system which only helps itself and if you aren't canny, you will be at it's mercy. I have already endured months of pain and disruption to my University work as a result of the appalling waiting list times, misdiagnoses and anxiety as a result of all of this. I am disgusted, angry, helpless and in pain.

Nevertheless, I hold on to the fact that this will all be over at some point and I will look back at this hideous stage of my life and thank god it's over. Soon...

Oh and Emma35uk - the pain in my teeth/head etc definitely gets worse before periods.

Wishing you all the best with your teeth issues and stay strong, we'll all get there eventually. :) Kelly.
