ear throbbing and breathing

[belavia]

Last few months I have had periods of ear throbbing, sort of like fast popping. Few days ago I started havng this feeling like when I breathe through my mouth I do not get any air. Breathing through the noise seems fine.
I am assuming this can somehow be related to ear pressure. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank You

Ive been experiencing this to..a very weird feeling of cant get enough Oxygen..i have days when its pretty bad and then days when i,m ok.I had a CT scan and i have Sphenoid sinus disease in both.I have a ENT app this coming friday..been on 4 lots of Antibiotics..so i,m thinking surgery at this point..Its an aweful feeling and kinda hard to describe. It may also have something to do with the Turbinates in your nose..they warm and filter the air.I sometimes have a feeling of breathing really cold air which in turn hurts my lungs.All to do with the sinus i,m assuming. I do at this point know i'll get through these feelings of not enough air and wont stop breathing..doesnt make it any better to bear but ive stopped panicking. saw a wonderful Doc who showed me my CT scan and told me all about it step by step...he really took his time..its great when you find a Doc that actually cares. Wish he was the ENT Doc but he was the one who ordered the CT scan and the ENT consult. He is an ER Doc..yea been to the ER cos i got scared and this lovely man has been a godsend.

Hi,
Have you been to an ENT?  You have sinuses way inside your skull, behind your nasopharynx and eyes.  I had infection in those deep sinuses , and felt like I was being suffocated, and had terrible ear throbbing that wouldnt stop,  despite the fact that my nose was clear, and I didn't sound stuffy.  Please go see a good ENT and ask them to order a Cat scan, because normally the deep sinuses can't be examined in the office with the sinus endoscope, you have to have a cat scan to see if there is any infection.
