My wife had a traumatic experience during a family argument. She went into a bit of a breakdown. She calmed down in about 15 mins, but her jaw was locked (could not open it past a certain point) and she had some numbness in her face . An hour has passed and it has loosened a bit. I am concerned about the possibility of a stroke , but I have not seen any other symptoms. I don t want to stress her more by taking her to the ER but also don t want to take chances. Your suggestion? Thanks - Mark
