I have facial tightness as if someone was pulling my face from the neck and I think thats why my breathing seems off . Has anyone had or heard of facial tightness after dental work. I dont have any shooting pain. Its tightness and the intensity varies. At times, left side of the cheek has a burning sensation. Im constantly congested and no nasal meds help that much. When I do have a clear nose, breathing does not feel natural or refreshing. Im horrified that I will permanently be like this for the rest of my life. The quality of my life has changed.
