Going by the description that you have mentioned, it seems that you have the problem of bruxism. Please go for a proper clinical examination by a dentist to evaluate the current condition of your dentition as well as the jaw bones.
There are multiple causes of decisions including physical and psychological factors. The treatment suggested is usually a soft silicon tray called as night guard which protects the teeth and jaws from further damage by acting as a cushion. It will not eliminate the Habit but will definitely prevent further damage to the jaw bones and this will definitely alleviate your symptoms.
Next Steps
try not to delay your visit to the dentist because the symptoms will subside spontaneously for sometime and will recur again, sometimes even with high intensity.
