Vertigo + Panic Attacks + TMJ Disorder ?

hi there. my name is chris. i have had tmj disorder for over 10 years (i'm 26). it started in high school when I would get lock jaw in the mornings. Now the clicking is very bad (right jaw) and painful. I get constant headaches and pain behind my right eye, down the right side of the neck and right shoulder blade. about two weeks ago i got a very sudden and bad attack of vertigo. i had never experienced anything like it and it freaked me out! i thought i was dying! this especially scared my wife who is 8 months pregnant. the vertigo included non-stop spinning, vomiting, cold sweats, feeling faint and hyperventilation - i think it set off a panic attack too - which i have never had before either. about two weeks later my jaw began to ache very badly and it got to the point where i couldn't bite down or chew. this has been going on and off for the last week and a half. i have had other vertigo attacks over the past few weeks - none as bad as the first and just tonight i experienced another panic attack and some dizziness. my doctor said it is probably a viral thing in the inner ear and there isn’t anything i can do about it but just wait it out. however because of the severe pain in my jaw and the lack of biting down – this has lead me to believe that it may be related to my tmj disorder and not an inner ear infection. any advice or thoughts??? who should i see??? i went to a chiropractor and there i received acupuncture but it does not see to have worked. i have noticed that over the past couple of years my tmj disorder has become frequently worse. when i opened my mouth for it to pop for the chiropractor it was so loud that it scared her and she swore… im looking for a solution… if it is this bad at 26…
