Could Being Diagnosed With TMJ Have Led To Headaches And Jaw Pain?

6 moths ago i was diagnosed with TMJ. i was getting headaches near the temple area and experiencing jaw pain and disturbance in jaw function. i am now on the waiting list for surgery and medication. within those six months i had a problem with my eyes. when i would go to bed my eyes wouldn't shut...almost like someone was prying them open. after seeing my GP he recommended i get my eyes checked out. there was no major issues other then being prescribed reading glasses. after 4 weeks of this bizarre eye behaviour it suddenly stopped. almost 2 week later i started experiencing headaches constantly through the weeks not only near the temple area but on top of my nose and forehead. i also suffer form migraines if that helps. I am just wondering if it is the TMJ contributing to the headaches and if it would be necessary to get a scan or something
