Jaw Pain That Has Travelled

Pain in the jaw is often associated with very bad colds and sinus infections. This symptom on its own is not symptomatic of a heart problem. However, when you experience pain that starts in the jaw and then travels to another part of the body, you should call 911 right away.

The reason for experiencing jaw pain during a heart attack is that those nerves that detect pain in the heart return signals to the area in your spinal cord that also detects jaw pain.
