Hi i'm 25 and for the passed three day i have had tightness on one or both side my head and when i eat something my jaw gets tight what could it be?

Some possibilties: without an exam, I can only give general information, and spasm of the neck is quite common can be with poor posture, working over something on top of a desk, or just out of the blue. rest, cervical collar, maybe physical ther. maybe NSAIDS and muscle relaxers.
