Weird pressure in the head and vertigo
Hello.
I am concerned about my condition and need some advice.
About two weeks ago, I was pacting stuff in my car for about half an hour, it was quite cold and I remember feeling a pain in my ears.
The next morning, I started having vertigo and dizziness. I went to see 2 different ENT specialists and they gave two different veridtcs.
The first one said it was a labyrinthitus, that nothing was to be done, it would go away.
The second one said I probably had an infection between the ear and the nose. I was give an antibiotic and antiinflammatory medication. It seemed to relieve the light head, vertigo feelings at the time, but then came a big congestion in my head, my nose when examined looks ok, but I can feel intense pressure in the head, behind the eyes, under the forehead and behind the head.
When I lie down, it's getting under control, as soon as I get up, the pressure is coming back and my breathing seems funny. Can it be sinusitis but in other parts than the nose?
Can anyone help me?
Thak you!

I have been suffering from this wierd head/ ear/ neck pressure, sometimes pressure on forehead, eyes and roof of mouth, for the last 9 weeks alongwith the dizziness, offbalance feelings. Had all the test and a CT scan of my head and sinus. The sinus scan showed - " Mild Mucosal thickening of the right sphenoid sinus and left maxillary sinnisutis". Could this all symptoms be caused due to the sinus issues? Particularly the head pressure is the most discomforting. Please get back. Thanks.
I'm 59 years old just diagnosed with hydrocephalus. I also have pressure in ears and behind eyes. Just finished radiation for meninggioma.
I have Ménière's disease and my symptoms are fullness in head and ears, constant ringing and also like the sound of the ocean in my ears. Severe nausea, off balance and spinning. Causes high anxiety and after attacks, I am exhausted. I am treated by neurologist and Ent. Take diuretics, nausea meds, and anxiety meds. Low sodium diet too. Went into remission but fell on ice, had concussion and now I have an exacerbation of symptoms. Vestibular physical therapy is helping.

Hi everyone,
I am at my ropes end. I have had congestion for years and after I had my wisdom teeth pulled in 2007 have had mild to severe pressure on the right side of my head around my right eye and ear. I wake up constantly stuffed up. Feel off balance. I have had headaches but mostly on the right side of my head. It feels like a bad drunk spell and its almost constant. Sometimes get's worse after chewing. I am severally fatigued but only in my head and in my eyes. My physical body is not tired. I have become increasingly irritated. Frustrated and depressed because I am no longer enjoying life like I used to. My anxiety is out the roof because I am worried it could be something else. I went to the ENT and they found nothing. My regular doctor said my right nostril was severely inflamed prescribed an anti histamine and nasal spray. Nothing worked. I am scheduled to get an MRI tomorrow and I am freaking out.
