Lower Jaw & Neck Pain

[yungathart]

I'm 58 yr old female with strong family history of heart diseases. I am 20 lbs overweight - I'm currently working on this.  My bp is - 110/60, total cholesterol is a little high and am how taking low dose Lipitor. My problem is that a year ago I noticed when I went for a walk outside in the cold weather, my lower jaw and neck tightened up to the point I felt pain. It was like a scarf tightened around my neck and lower jaw. I am not grinding my teeth or clenching my jaw. The pain went away when I stopped walking and went inside. This happens also when fast walking on an indoor track where I work out. When I tried jogging I felt as though my head would explode. I must let you know this does not happen when I do weight training.  Last Feb. cardiologist did tests such as cardiogram and I passed with flying colors. However, the pain for me continues and is interfering with my exercising. Is there any way this is related to my cardiovascular system?

I never did find the cause of my pain and it was very disturbing.  Doctors said it was not heart disease as I had a battery of tests done. I even had the pain when doing the stress test on the treadmill.  Eventually the pain did stop, however, once in a while it appears again out of the blue,  usually if I am out walking briskly on a cold day. I ensure I am bundled up well and walk slowly. Sorry I cannot be of further help to you.

I'm reading your post and just wondering how did it go and what was the cause? Was it heart disease? The reason 'm asking is because I'm having the same symptoms right now. Regards
