Is it normal to hold your teeth together on accident?

I often have panic attacks, paranoia andd anxiety so I'm stressed a lot. But sometimes out of the blue I notice I hold my teeth together when I'm stressed, and it hurts after I while and sometimes I can't control it. Even when I wake p I notice the same thing and my mouth hurts like hell. Is that normal? I am a lip biter but I don't think that's why....

  • It's called gritting your teeth.

  • I don't think it's normal but i think most people under a lot of stress do it. I've seen my dad do it sometimes, maybe try to not do it for a while and it'll stop doing it automatically like a bad habit. I usually bite my lips too but I don't hold my teeth together.
