Please consider seeking the advice of a trained health care practitioner.  You may be experiencing symptoms of temporormandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome.  This is a common condition, and often results from teeth grinding at night or clenching your jaw.  There are some simple diagnostic tests and several good treatment options available, depending upon the severity of your symptoms.
