woke up this morning at 5 am with bottom jaw ache.

Yesterday i spent the day with my friend talking, then at night i went to a wedding reeption and was talking with peole i had  not seen for years.

Also i have dentures, that give me problem, so hoping all of this is causing the jaw ache.

I have no earache,or pain in my temple area, so ami just worrying for nothing.

    Probably.  I don't spend much time talking with people and when I do I develop a sore throat and worry that I've caught a bug.  But if you find the pain increases when you eat, or you start to notice any vision issues, then hie thee to a doctor or emergency department.  

    Time to get the dentures issue sorted out perhaps?  Your very definite symptoms right now might help the denturist figure out exactly how to modify them.

    Probably - the jaw pain with GCA tends to be during chewing and then fades when you stop. So waking with it would be very unusual - especially as you have no other typical complaints.
