[Roger Gould, M.D.]

Jaquta gave you the best advice already.  Nothing to add , just emphasize that anxiety cause both emotional eating and somatic symptoms....the program she mentioned will help you sort that out and do something about it.

[Jaquta]

It is most likely to be associated with the anxiety.
A lot of people will experience emotional difficulties as physical symptoms.
The anxiety about your ear could trigger emotional eating.  It may not be the only trigger or cause though.

To work through the emotional aspects you could try psychotherapy or try Dr Gould's online program at his website shrinkyourself.com.
