Brief Answer:
Following causes to pain and blocked ear sensation
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your medical history and feel sorry for the situation you are in.
Blocked ear sensation might be related to problems with middle ear and/or Eustachian tube (communication between middle ear and naso-pharynx).
I suggest to get your ears checked by ENT specialist in order to get treatment in time.
Another cause could be related to spikes in blood pressure and a possible ischemic attack. Further cardiac and neurological examinations are needed to determine the right cause and get proper treatment:
- ECG
- cardiac ECHO
- Stress test
Spondyloarthrosis of the neck is also to blame. An X-ray of spine at the neck level should be carried out for further evaluation.
Depending on the tests results, specific treatment and management guidelines would be recommended.
Hope it helped!
