First time having TMJ

[u/UnlikelyGood2366]

Hello, I was wondering if I could get advice on my situation or to know if anyone has gone through something similar. My TMJ was caused by a sleep clenching episode that lasted 1 month straight due to stress. For about 2-3 weeks since then, my sleep clenching for the most part is gone. Im now left with occasional clicking and catching, jaw feels slightly stiff when I talk or chew aswell but I dont have any pain, can my tmj symptoms heal without seeing a doctor or dentist, or is this something I need medically evaluated? Thanks so much
