A sensational viral video is making waves where a 21-year-old influencer, Jenna Sinatra from New Jersey, can be seen at a medical facility with her mouth stretched wide open - courtesy of a big yawn.

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, the influencer was stuck in this bizarre situation and in need of a medical intervention, just days before her birthday.

In the video posted by the influencer, she's seen checking into a medical facility. The doctor asks her how long she's been experiencing the issue, to which a person accompanying her replies it's been an hour.

Throughout the video, the influencer appears to be struggling to speak and is frequently seen wiping drool from her mouth. She also mentions in the video that she's in pain.

Jenna was also warned that her condition might occur again.

Viewers chimed in with their own stories of jaw-related mishaps as they shared their fears with lockjaw, a condition triggered by activities as mundane as yawning widely or laughing.

Dr Anthony Youn, a plastic surgeon, weighed in on Jenna's case and said that though rare, it is a phenomenon often linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
