Go to doctor: Possibly. The best idea is to go to a physician immediately for an exam. If you have pain, use the ER. You may have some problems with your temperomandibular joint.

TMJ: The temporal mandibular joint can cause these symptoms when there is dysfunction from stress, abnormal bite,dental problems or grinding of teeth from habit or during sleep. Your dentist or oral surgeon can evaluate and advise you about this situation.

Oral surgeon: Start with a dental examination, and if this seems complex, or X-rays reveal problems, then next have an assessment from an oral surgeon.
