Thanks for using the forum. I am happy to address your questions, and my answer will be based on the information you provided here. Please make sure you recognize that this forum is for educational purposes only, and it does not substitute for a formal office visit with a doctor.

Without the ability to examine and obtain a history, I can not tell you what the exact cause of the symptoms is. It could be something simple like your Eustachian tube, inner ear, or a vascular cause for example. If this problem is bothersome, I would recommend that you follow up with an ENT to have it evaluated. If any other symptoms occur such as dizziness, hearing loss, ringing in the ears, I would recommend that you be evaluated by your primary physician. If you actually have any neurological changes, such as sensory loss, weakness, difficulty with speaking, etc, you should be evaluated in an emergency department urgently.

Thank you for this opportunity to answer your questions, I hope you find the information I have provided useful, good luck.
