DDS & ENT consult: I would suggest you see a dentist and an ENT specialist to see what's going on. It could be symptoms related to tmd (temporomandibular dysfunction) related to your jaw joints, something else, or a combination of issues.

TMJ : Sounds like tmj. See a dentist trained in occlusion. He will take x-rays and perform an exam. Other special x-rays may be ordered as well. You may be asked to have a consultation with an orthodontist and an ent. At 26 years of age this should not be taken lightly.
