Would see your dentist to evaluate possible jaw issues (TMJ syndrome). If proven, a nocturnal splint may well help. Agree that temporal arteritis is quite unlikely but a simple blood test can confirm or rule out. Uncommonly, some migraine variants might present this way.

3 ideas. See an ENT, an allergist and a neurologist, for focused evaluations.
