What causes pressure in ears?  I also hear my heart beat in my right ear.  The pressure seems worse when I exercise and when I eat.  My blood pressure is 100/55.  This happen overnight.  I tried ear wax removal, and swimmers ear drops. Did not help.  I do become off balance like falling but not dizzy slightly lightheadedness.  The ENT tlooked into my ears and said I do not have any pressure or fluid in my ears.  He did not offer a hearing test.  The Doctor said it's a Central Nervous System problem.  Any ideas what this could be.

How did your MS started?  I been having balance problems for the last ten years and no Dr. thought to much of it.  I did have an MRI back in 2006.  The MRI Stated:There was a small amount of fluid in the left mastoid air cells seen on image #19 Flair images revealed an area of increased signal intensity capping the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle on Flair image #11  Impression:  A small amount of fluid in the left mastoid air cells.  A small arear of increased signal intensity surrounding the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle  is believed to be within normal limits.   My balance would go away for a couple of years then it would start up again.  Thats been going on for 10 years.  Do you have an insight on this.  I will make an appointment to see a Neuro.  Where do I start.  The first ENT did not have any Dr. that he could recommed.  I don't think he wanted to be bother.  The second ENT Dr. just wanted to talk about his dead wife.  Nice Dr. but would not shut up about his wife.  I think he was still griving.  I should call him up and ask for a Neuro.  What do you think.  I do not have any luck with Doctors.  They all to be in a hurry or cannot shut them up

Hi DT -

If the ENT said there's nothing wrong with your ears, then it could very well be neurological. We're not doctors, just a bunch of folks who have MS, or trying to find out if they have MS.

I would ask the ENT for the name of a neurologist and see what they have to say,

Kyle
