During sleep, my right ear pains when i sleep on that side. this is like a stinging pain inside the ear. is this something i should worry about?

Possible TMJ: You could be placing pressure on your jaw joint which may have had some damage to the joint and ligaments. Ear pain is a classic symptom of tmj. I would have an ENT evacuation first to rule out infection. If everything appears normal then consult with a dentist trained to treat tmj.
