Head pressure/ear pressure

Hi all

Over the last month it has felt like I have a lot of pressure in my head/ears. It feels like I am underwater. It has been worse over the last 3 days but only intermittently. I am currently on verapamil for AFIb . Famotodine for gastritis and betnesol drops for sinusitis. The pressure came on before the two forms of tablet so it won’t be those. Has anyone else experienced this with drops. Anyone got any tips on relieving it?

Hello I don’t really have any tips unfortunately, but am writing to let you know that I have also suffered with constant head pressure the past 2 months.. I suffer with chronic migraines and my nuro /dr thinks it’s just another symptom of my migraine and I hate it! I have had to be sleeping up on 4 pillows as lying back is just unbearable like you will literally see the veins popping on my forehead (and they never used to do that). It gets worse as the day goes on too so come late afternoon/bedtime my head feels like it’s in a vice and about to pop and it really does feel Like your underwater 😭.. Wish I had some words of advice, but just letting you know your not alone in experiencing this.

Hi Rhea.

It’s good to know I’m not alone. I was starting to think when no one replied that I was. The underwater feeling is vile ain’t it!!

You are not alone. I have had head pressure for everyday all day long and all night long for a few years now. With lots of other symptoms. It is very hard and I have to lay flat, I get the ear issues too, along with my face pressure too and feeling faint a lot and vision acts up. It’s terrible, but just know you are not alone. I hope you find some relief soon.

Hi can I ask did anyone get any form of relief in the end for this issue as I’m struggling with it now x

Sadly not. I have an ENT appointment in a couple of weeks and they said I have a deviated septum. Which could cause me issues! X

I wish I could say yes, but no and suffering bad. Now tongue is very tight and hard to swallow on top of everything. I did manage to get an appt with another neuro but can’t get in til April. So waiting and hoping for some answers and relief. Not sure how stress can cause all of this it’s severe.

I have purchased a neilmed sinugator. It is good. It washed your sinuses round but only slight relief
