Pressure in ears and forehead

[playaz]

Hi

I have been suffering from this for the last 5 years and so far I haven't been able to get an answer on what's wrong with me.

My ears are blocked and full of pressure all the time and I keep trying to pop them every day by moving jaw, grinding teeth or pushing through nose with no success. When doing this I also hear these cracking sounds in my ears.

I also have pressure in my head, especially in the forehead and around eyes. If I bend down I feel more head pressure as well. This is sometimes better but never completely ok while ear problems are there all the time.

I've been to several ENTs, Neurologist, took CT of head, sinuses, went to TMJ specialist,chiropractor,bioresonance and probably other things as well. All results came back normal.

I'm desperate for some help from someone who could tell me what is wrong with me and how to treat this.

Thank you for your comments!

Did you ever get a diagnosis as to why you had the pressure in ears and forehead? Im experiencing these exact same symptoms and Im looking for answers.

Hey guys! I saw the neurologist and my diagnosis is chronic migraine. I don't know if this fits for you, but I learned a lot about migraine today. Migraine is not a type of headache, it is a medical/biological condition. Pain is only one of the symptoms. Half of sufferers have only mild or moderate pain, and half will get severe pain but also get mild headaches. Other symptoms include: tightness, aching, pounding, pressure, sensitivity, pressure behind the eyes, over the sinuses, base of the neck, also shoulders, nausea, blurred vision, thought blocking, poor concentration, confusion, numbness, tingling, vertigo, dizziness, insomnia, fainting, or stroke-like symptoms. Chronic migraine, if left untreated, can last weeks, months, or even years. I have so much pressure in my ears and in my head that I can hear my blood swooshing and hear my heartbeating. And my vertigo is off the charts. I've had just about all these symptoms for a very long time, years, and I have a headache daily, but only got severe headaches 1 or 2 times a month, so I didn't even consider that I had migraine. I thought it was sinus pressure. So, the moral of my story is that it is possible that you are suffering with some or all of these symptoms, but not have severe pain, and not realize that it is classic migraine. I have a program to follow with my neurologist and I'm looking forward to feeling better! I hope this helps someone! God Bless!

The only other thing that I can think of is: did any of these doctors order a lumbar puncture? This would be to test the pressure of ur cerebral spinal fluid. This is fluid that surrounds ur brain and spinal cord. What u describe sounds more "sinus", but ruling out elevated pressure issues might be a good next step.
Good luck
