I have noticed that since I have been having my headaches, my jaw is much more tight and popping alot more. I just imagine that when we are in tremendious pain from the headaches we are clinching our teeth much more. TMJ sufferers typically grind there teeth and clinch there teeth together while sleeping. Since most of us get these headaches at night, while they are still slight and we can still sleep, (before they get so unbearable we must wake)we are probably clinching our teeth.
