Whenever I push myself whilst running, usually when in a race, my jaw really hurts. I'm pretty certain i don't clench my jaw when I run eihter. Does anyone else get this???

    stretch really good before running. Relax your shoulders. Pay conscious attention to tensing up.Probably starts in your shoulders and neck.

    That happens to me sometimes. I hate it because it's so painful that I can't swallow or talk when it happens. I used to think my wisdom teeth caused it, but I got them removed over a year ago and it still happens. The only information I've found online suggests that it's a heart problem, but I highly doubt that someone my age (21) would have heart problems.
