Also, since some people respond to stress by clenching their jaw, grinding their teeth, tensing up their neck, and/or refluxing, OF might not be a new cause of your symptoms as much as a new agitation to preexisting TMJ, TMD, cavity in a molar, LPR, SCM syndrome, etc.
You've already mentioned 4 symptoms that are considered common to TMJ sufferers: ear pain (without hearing loss), dizziness, tinnitus, and [jaw?] clicking. If you haven't already done so, you might find it helpful to speak with a dentist, orthodontist, orthotropist, ENT, GI doc, or physio about your symptoms. It's not always clear who can help you with your problems, and, if you haven't considered the mouth or neck as related, some of these may not be obvious choices.
Also, since you'd seemed confused about the difference, to the best of my limited knowledge, the sympathetic nervous system is sometimes called fight/flight, and the parasympathetic is sometimes called rest/digest. The Wim Hof breathing method that you've previously mentioned (as I understand it, hyperventilation or Tummo) is sometimes said to encourage a sympathetic response. Buteyko breathing is often said to promote parasympathetic.
This post is only intended to expand your options for finding qualified advice, not as any form of medical advice itself. I hope that you feel better soon.
True, never check that, actually my right jaw or joint suffers from TMJ for at least 7 years (not that it had caused me troubles apart from making my jaw click at times and my jaw clicking it's not a symptom but my ear is the one that click at times), also I mentioned something about my neck feeling strained but it's been a while since that wore off and yes some weeks ago I noticed my teeths being clenched when stressed (I already stop doing it whenever I notice), about the ear pain it's been a week I think since it stopped completely, the same week when I got rid of my breathing issue (except when I focus on them but that's placebo)
Right now I'm just dizzy and my head kind of feels heavy but not enough to stay in bed, and since friday (when I was dying) haven't feel anxiety anymore.
So for the time being I will just watch how things go.
