General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that dizziness might be due to hard blow on the side of head.
As you got difficulty in opening or shut down movement at jaw joint there is possibility of having sub laxation of T M joint.
Consult oral surgeon and get examined.
Meanwhile do not try to wide open your mouth or keep fingers on TM joint while yawning.
Ok and take care.
