PRESSURE IN SKULL AND EARS

[amp5359]

FOR A LONGTIME I HAVE HAD PRESSURE IN MY HEAD. IT'S LIKE I HAVE SOMETHING INSIDE MY SKULL PUSHING OUTWARD TOWARD THE FRONT OF MY SKULL AND AT THE BASE OF THE HEAD-AT THE SAME TIME. LATELY, SAY THE LAST TWO-THREE WEEKS, I HAVE HAD PRESSURE LIKE FEELINGS IN MY EAR. KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOUR EARS GET BLOCKED FROM BEING UNDER WATER TOO LONG. IS THIS SIGN OF MY CHIARI? I HATE TO KEEP ASKING THESE QUESTIONS, BUT I HAVE FOUND LOTS OF GREAT INFO HERE. IT GETS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE SOME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON WITH ME.I HATE TO EVEN SNEEZE BECAUSE MY CHEST WILL HURT AS WELL AS MY LOWER BACK. NOT SURE IF THAT IS FROM THE ARTHRITIS I RECENTLY FOUND IN MY LOW BACK AND IN MY NECK. CURRENTLY IN PT FOR THIS. ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON?
