Suggest Treatment For Temporomandibular Joint Disorder

Hello, just recently I have been told I have tmj. With this my jaw has bothered me but its ok because the pain is not severe. Over the past few months my chest hurts when breathing but this happens every now and then. Just today I discovered that the top part of my gums are a very dark color and was thinking maybe that can be a reason why my face has been hurting me. Also within the past two weeks I have gotten really dizzy and feel like I need to puke. This may be nothing but is this something I should take a little more serious?

TMJ dislocation or dysfunction is not very common like regular knee or back pain. Resting (Jaw movement) should be more than enough for little problem to resolve. However, if rest isn't solving the pain or dysfunction then you must get one X-Ray and consultation of Orthopaedician done.
Meanwhile, avoid hard food to chew and speak minimal to give proper rest.
'Shitali' pranayama/breathing can help to reduce excessive heat in mouth or chest region.
