Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe pain in jaws, ears and headache after 2 heart attacks which seems to be due to temporomandibular joint disorder due to stress. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply moist heat or cold packs. Go for facial muscle relaxing exercises. Visit oral and maxillofacial surgeon once and get complete examination done. you should go for X-ray of jaws along with CT scan. Start treatment after complete diagnosis. Avoid sharp and sticky food and take light and soft diet. You should maintain complete oral hygiene. You should use night guard if you clenches jaw and take muscle relaxants and try to re position jaw whenever it will cause pain.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
