Stiff Neck and Jaw

2018-05-09 07:28:28
My neck gets stiff randomly most of the time I have noticed it when I am eating or chewing something. It spreads to my jaw and I have to stop chewing or eating for a few seconds and then i can continue and it stiffens again. This happens sporadically and not all the time. Please note that I have recently started taking BP medication after I was diagnosed with high BP and I started to notice these symptoms around the same time. I checked with the pathologist and he said its not related.
