question: Hello. I have jaw spasms. This can occur at any time. But when I m feeling anxious or nervous, they happen more frequently. This has affected my social life. When a spasm happens, I make the excuse that I have bitten my tongue , because I am sure that it is very obvious to the person I am speaking to at the time. I am a podiatrist and this happens when I am working. It doesn t physically affect my treatment, but it has a devastating effect on me emotionally. Please advise me on what I can do to alleviate these spasms. I have only told my mum about these. I am married with children who have now grown up. Nobody else in my family is aware I have any problems whatsoever. Kind regards. Dawn
