Thanks for sharing your concern with Health Care Magic..!

Looking at your explanation and stressful situation you are undergoing, you have developed early stage of bruxissum. which means biting your own teeth during night. This phenomenon is usually in voluntary.

I would recommend the following for you
-Have good sleep, as disturbed sleep will cause this condition
-Take your current situation lightly and use some stress breaking methods
-Muscle relaxants medications in the night will help you to some extent
-Lastly pre fabricated TMJ Splints / custom made night guadrs will help you to come out of this situation.

Please consult a good dentist to have a detailed analysis of your condition, As you are also complaining left jaw line numbness correlating this condition with your cardio vascular health is also very important for clinician.
