I had the exact same thing!.!.!.including the anemia!. They put me through the same series of tests and doctors!. Turned out that sometimes people with anemia crave and chew ice!. Which I did!. I also seem to grit my teeth at night!. And it caused TMJ!. Look into that!. I hope its that simple for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
All the symptoms you described point to TMJ!.
It is a disorder of the "jaw hinge"!.
Causes earaches, headaches, dizziness, face aches, can't open mouth all the way, clicking or locking of the jaw, etc!.
Grinding teeth, stress, degenerative jaw bone loss etc!.
Some people have to take methadone for the pain!.

Sound's like an ear infection to me, I'd say middle ear infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
YOU GRIND YOUR TEETH AT NIGHT!.!.!.not even kiddingWww@Answer-Health@Com
it may be what is called inner earWww@Answer-Health@Com
I just got over this about a month ago, but it is a middle ear infection, likely because your eardrum ruptured and an infection found its way in there!. Did you clean your ear with a Q-tip or something!? Avoid it!
The stuffiness and the jaw pain are part of the infection!. How to tell!? Touch your ear!. Pull on the lobe!. If it hurts to the touch, then it's an ear infection!. If not, touch the place where your jaw ends (around your cheek)!. If THAT hurts to the touch, you may have TMJ!. But trust me, what you have is exactly what I experienced!. It's an ear infection!. Likely you'll get ear drops and pain medication and it should clear up within a week!. But do not stick Q-tips in your ear!. That's how mine got infected!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
