Can my sore/tight jaw and tmj muscles be the cause of the odd sensations on my lip, teeth, jaw?

TMJ +tension: TMD (dysfunction) is a dental problem that causes most headaches on the outer side of the skull that can spread to the neck. Tension makes it worse by clamping/grinding. Tension also causes increased respiration and loss of CO2 changing the blood acidity, CA+++ solubility and nerve transmission. See a TMJ dentist and try rebreathing for the tingling.
