What Is The Cause And Treatment For Jaw Pain?

I've been experiencing on and off again jaw pain on the left side back base of jaw, it seems to come and go. I do get press in my upper cheekbone sort of like sinus pressure, and right now it could be. I'm 28 years old male and within the last year I have had a cardiovascular exam with stress test/ekg/echo so I figure most likely scenario is that it's TMJ, just attempting to reassure myself.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Jaw pain can be because of many reasons like
-first may be one of your lower tooth is infected of left side which is causing this
-second may he your salivary gland of left is having stone which is causing this problem
-third may be your your tmj only is causing this
-fourth can be your jaw bone is only infected.
But to confirm all these you have to visit a dentist and get a full mouth x - ray done which will rule out the problem.
Hope it will help you.
