<s>[INST] hello and thanks. Developed a headache that felt like sinus pain; began about 2 weeks ago..but no sinus drainage or fever... about a week ago both sides of my jaw {TM joint} just tightened down to where it s difficult to open my mouth very wide..it hurts! Then just after that, I noticed the roof of my mouth feeling numb. My ears have hurts some. The roof of my mouth is still numb. Went to my PCP yesterday. He feels it s most likely a migraine and not sinus infection causing this awful headache and jaw soreness and tightness. He could not account for the roof of the mouth numbness. My BP is a tad too high..and I will be monitoring that. 150/90 yesterday. Doctor suggested that it might be elevated some due to the ongoing headache..or the HA could be partially due to the BP. I understand all of that. I m an RN... What I don t understand and can t find clear info on is the numbness of the roof of my mouth. Can you help? thank you! [/INST] Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.Migraine can not cause numbness of palate. It can be possible that you might be having some bony infection of palate, which is causing this numbness. And TMJ pain is caused by TMJ disorder, So better that you should visit a good dentist and get an x-ray of palate and TMJ done.Hope it will help you. </s>
