I Feel A Pressure In/around My Left Ear, And It

I feel a pressure in/around my left ear, and it hurts just in front if that ear as I bend over forwards, intensifying the further down I go. My right ear is fine. I am just getting over a few days of stuffy nose, sore throat, and fever, so I assume it's from that, however even before then I sometimes have been getting dizzy/disoriented after walking a few blocks. Could this ear pain/pressure be related to either/both?
