Yes these might be symptoms of TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder). Please get a thorough consultation from an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Hello. Your symptoms point towards a TMJ disorder. I would like to know if you are experiencing a restriction in your mouth opening. If yes, you must visit a dental clinic as soon as possible. If not, you can take some conservative measures at home such as 1) not opening mouth wide during eating, yawning and laughing; 2) warm compress on that area 3-4 times a day.
