Should I get checked out for Tmj??

The last couple months I’ve been experiencing crazy tightness in my jaw, neck, back, shoulders. And sometimes a tingling tight feeling where skull connects to my neck and it makes my head feel heavy. The other day I noticed my top and bottom teeth didn’t line up exactly the same as they normally do, then figured I was imagining it. But still doesn’t feel right. My jaw has always made a cracking noise most of the time when I do a big yawn or open wide, also when moving my jaw to the left. Today my ear made a weird noise and then I got light headed and dizzy, I felt so disoriented. It lasted over an hour. Also have poor circulation but it’s been more prominent recently. I do seem to catch myself clenching my jaw here and there.
I just don’t know if I am going to be wasting my time going through the process or trying to find someone to get seen that takes my insurance and all that. already have some recent medical problems going on, now thinking some of it could be tmj related. Been thinking this whole time everything is related to my severe vitamin d deficiency. HELP
Anyone experience similar things ???
