Hi there anon, I'm sorry to hear about your jaw pain. The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute does associate jaw pain with heart issues and heart attack warning signs that include:
"Pain or discomfort in the center of the chest;
Pain or discomfort in other areas of the upper body, including the arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach; and
Other symptoms such as shortness of breath, breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or light-headedness."
And low blood pressure can lead to some dizziness and light-headedness as well, according to the American Heart Association.
We will forward your question to one of our experts and I'm not a doctor, but if it were up to me, I would get a second opinion right away. I know your doctor feels these types of things may be 'normal' for you, but when it comes to heart health, I think two heads are better than one.
