Head and ear pressure

I have been having this problem for a while I have been seeing light spots in the corner of both of my eyes and my head feels heavy all time epically when I bend over and tie my shoes. It’s like I can’t hold my head up. I feel dizzy. It feels like my head is being squeezed. My ears throb all the time and when I burp it hurts my left ear. Like it is going to pop and sometimes I feel faint. I have had no head trauma or head injures. I went to an eye doctor and they said my eyes are fine, I just had a stigmatism and the neurologist have an EEG, MRI and a holter monitor for 24hrs. So far all tests are good no one knows anything. Can anyone help?

Hi. I just found this interesting info online. A few of the patients interviewed for this technique said they had pressure in the head, and vertigo, if I remember correctly - and their issues were solved with this treatment, so I am posting it here for you. Take care!

I just saw an ENT, he thinks I have MAV, which doesn't make since because my symptoms never ever go away and get worse when I blow my nose, etc.
Do you folks get alot of visual snow, and aura, green stuff in your vision, and is it hard for your eyes to look at something close and then something further away?  I mean your eyes can do it but the objects "pop" into view, no popping noise just the sensation?

And do objects seem to move when you look around them?

Like when looking form one corner of the room to the other does the room seem to move around visually as you move your eyes?

We all gotta stick together on this cause to be honest, if you start doing some online research, everyones in similar boats, they try a lot of docs, most seem to not get diagnosed properly often!

I've had pretty much the same symptoms as you, I bend over and I feel pressure in my heard/hears like it's about to explode. I have also been feeling a pulse in my head from time to time.

I have the exact sme issues for about 6 weeks since about two days after I road several roller coasters.  All my MRI and exams were negative as well.  I do have a vestibular issue in my left ear that ws found in a balance test by my ENT.  They think thats the issue right now.  The ENT gave me some excercises to do yesterday.  I started doing them last night and I think it helped.  Im goin to try them for a few weeks to see if things return to normal.  Seek out an ENT to get the excercises and the balance test.

I would try an ear, nose throat doctor next, could be an inner ear problem, check this out:
www.vestibular.org or it may be some sort of sinus complication.

Hope that helps:)

Let me know what you find out as I have a similar problem, thanks, and just keep trying till they find out what it is....
