Why Does My Jaw Gets Locked Up?

I'm had my jaw shift violently back and forth a year ago. My jaw clamped shut for about 30 seconds in January of this year. Yesterday I had the sensation it was going to lock again but it did not. I've had a brain MRI, cat scan, monitored over 24hr, TMJ checked and everything is fine. Nobody can figure out what is going on. Now someone finally said his Mother had about the same thing and it was a heart problem. Any ideas.
