Yes, but...: Yes, but it is also possible you have a sinus headache. Coughing is not related to tmjoint issues and increased head pressure is typical with sinusitis. See your pcp or ENT specialist first. Also get a consult with a dentist if need be.

Maybe.. but..: Tmj involves over 70 different things and it may or may not be related. I would suggest seeing a dentist with training in diagnosing TMJ problems to determine if it is related or not.
