Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Well, this type of sensation is usually noticed in blocked Eustachian tube / eustachian tube dysfunction. Generally it isn't related to blood pressure or a heart ailment. I will suggest you to try steam inhalation trice a day for the next 3 days. Chewing a gum or any other valsalva manoeuvre is known to be beneficial too. beneficial.

If these two suggestions don't help you, I will suggest to see your doctor for prescription ear drops and other oral medications.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
