Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to chronic inflammation of the temporo-mandibulary joints. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a dentist and performing an X-ray study of the temporo-mandibulary joints.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
