Krista, are you a clencher? One sign is to feel or look inside you cheeks for a horizontal ridge. It may be more prominent in the morning if you were clenching when you were sleeping. You can also feel for the ridge with your tongue.
Or...look at the borders of your tongue. Do you see scalloped ridges around the border? Another sign of clenching.
Clenching, stress, headaches, TMJ, can all be related and are very common.
