Anyone get pounding head/jaw/temple pain?

I have TMJ and while Ive had pain around the jaw muscles sometimes, Ive never really had a POUNDING throbbing pain. I have had it now off and on several hours. Ive used an ice pack earlier tonight and that helped it go away, now its back. 😢 Anything else help pounding pain? Advil? Massage?

I had a really bad headache, once, but I didn't have any pain in my jaw. At first, I thought I could sleep it off, but every time I went to lay down, I thought I was gonna vomit and every time I went to the lavatory to attempt to vomit in the commode, nothing came out of me. And so here I am, going back and forth, between my bedroom and the lavatory, until I decided to take four acetominophen pills, each with a glass of water. After that, my headache was gone and I was feeling really good.

@Sidewinder Glad it helped. Rn, its diminished but Im wary of going to sleep, I think laying on the affected temple may exacerbate it😔 So if that occurs, Ill take Tylenol, and perhaps also with Advil..thank you🐦

@Sidewinder that's not tmj. You have nausea. Please look into what is causing you to have heavy nausea like you have been experiencing. I have that too. Horrible horrible feeling EVER!
