Hi both these symptoms could be caused by tmj, this is a prolem caused by clenching your teeth (sometimes you don't know you are doing it). It is a common problem for people with stress/anxiety. There's loads of post on here if you do a quick search. In terms of tmj I think being lightheaded and off balance is caused by all the tension in your neck and face. Hope this helps a little, I've got tmj made worse at the moment as got 2 wisdom teeth coming through! X
