Myofascial dysfunction or angina...

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

After going through the history, I do believe you could be having either angina or myofacial dysfunction (secondary to Temporomandibular joint dysfunction).

As you have mentioned that your pain is getting relieved with nitroglycerin, I strongly feel it could be attacks of angina. Consult a good cardiologist and a maxillofacial surgeon for identifying the cause of your problem.

Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
