After speaking and laughing, i have bilateral headache on my temples. i have a tmj disorder but no pain or sound or opening problems with my jaw. could tmj be the cause of these headaches ? jaw exercices don't help, how can i relieve this pain ?

Yes, facial pain and headaches as you describe could well be secondary to TMJ dysfunction. See a dentist, and get fitted for a nocturnal splint. If this fails, see an oral surgeon.
