I have had all sorts of problems, most of them debilitating me to the point of thinking I was dying. Until now, I have had allergists, sinus specialists, nasal endoscopies (3), endoscopy and colonoscopy, cardiologist, three ENTs and three different internal specialists.
All they do is diagnose Asthma without any real test for asthma, just because I had asthmatic bronchitis when I was a child.
Medical help *****!! I am really disappointed by these professionals who only are looking for profit regardless of how long am I going to be on cortisone/corticosteroids affecting my bones, eye sight, etc. etc. There is no end and...... the last one I saw (a pulmonologist) told me that I was not alone, there are too many people out there with my same symptoms!!
Is that supposed to give me consolation? Sorry but after more than two years dealing with all these people, my body has started to react on its own. I still have a long way to recovery!!!
Good luck to all of you!!
u may have sinus , i suppose.
thats what doctor told to me....hey i even have migranes and i can also hear a loud bell ringing in my ear in right.
and my ear itches when i scratch my right side of throat...
seriously ,,,,docs told me normal..my head xray, audible tests are good..
can there be any problem still?????????????
i know this thread is very old but did you find out what was wrong? I have the exact same symptoms as you. I had a cold then got this pressure in my ears after and went to the doctors and said I have bruised my ear drum also in the inside on the right ear but I have pressure in both my ears. My ear are sensitive to loud and also unusual noises and when I swallow it crackles also but not very loud I just notice it everything I swallow. Also I wake up 2-3times during the night cuz my brain wakes me up and saying your ears have pressure haha If you know what I mean. I went to the ENT and said everything looked fine but I got back in a couple weeks to get other test done if anyone knows how to cure this problem let me know.
A solution described at this web site works, if it is not wax in your outter ear, but clogging inside the eustachian tube - often caused by an ear infection, or simply allergies and sinus congestion even, this solution is easy to do at home with a neti pot and sinus spray, to clear swelling and clogging in the eustachian tube.

I have pressure in my ears..most of the time i can feel it slightly squeezing out with lilttle discomfort when I'm laying down. I also have very bad times when i feel pressure building and it causes me the sensation of falling, almost like an elevator ride!...It also starts when reading. Recently I awoke and right away went through a violent spinning spell..i couldnt see straight almost vomited and passed out. it all started after a very bad cold...over a year ago. alergies? or clogged ears? anyone got some suggestions of what im going through? it has affected my life to the point of almost debilitating me.
I also have this ear pressure problem in my right ear for months now. I saw a doctor and she said I had wax build up, so the nurse flushed out both ears and gave me a prescription decongestant. I took the decongestants for a week but they did nothing for me. I still have this nasty pressure in my right ear. Anyone got any suggestions?
I recently had a lot of pressure in one ear and reduced hearing. It started with a cold but never went away. Turns out my ear was clogged with wax. I put 3 drops of mineral oil in a day for 3 days and then went to the doctor to flush it out. A wax ball the size of a small marble came out and my hearing returned to normal with no more pressure. It feels wonderful.
My son had all the symptoms that you are having. He was put on Singulair in the springby our allergy doctor and it worked wonders, I was amazed! He was taken off it in Aug. but this week I had to put him back on it because the ear pressure came back. Singulair is very expensive but it helped my son feel much better! Good luck to you!
I'm having similare problems; ear pressure, sensitive to sound, a strange swishing sound. I think it is related to allergies, however Allegra, Flonase and Pseudophedrine are not helping. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, hopefully they'll have something to help me!
neither of you are on Blood Pressure meds are you?
I agree with bweb. Pseudophedrine 60 mg every 4 hours works well with me. If you're on other meds check with the pharmacist first. If that doesn't help, you can visit an ent and they can make a small incision to help equalize the pressure. Best of luck to you.
For about two weeks now, in the evening my ears fill full of pressure and I can't hear that well. Nothing triggers it, it just happens every evening. So I will try and close my mouth and block my nose and blow, but it doesn't go away. Its starting to get really obnoxious!! I have tried decongestants, but they haven't worked, and I am not recovering from a prior cold or anything this just came on!! Help me!!
Hey there...sounds like you have or had a Eustachian tube problem, the tube that equalizes pressure between your inner and outer ears.
When the Eustachian tubes get clogged due to allergy or a cold, your hearing can be reduced. The squeaking noise you heard when you blew into your nose to equalize the pressure most likely was the result of air trying to get through a swollen Eustachian tube.
Most likely, you need to take decongestants. If it continues, I suggest a Doctor visit.
Have you seen a doctor for this problem? An ear nose & throat specialist could answer your questions or atleast tell you that there is nothing to worry about. You could have an allergy, even if you never had one before. Allergies change every 7 years, I've heard. Keep Q-tips out of your ears too, they can compound wax into your eardrum. You may want to just try a ear flushing kit before you spend money on a doctor. They cost less than $10.
