I have had a chronic ear and throat problem for 15 years. First happened when undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer on same side as removal of 16 lymph nodes in my armpit. Extremely stressed due to a death in my family. Dr said I had pulled a muscle from my ear into throat prescribed valium. Problem consisted on and off for 1 year but always had a feeling of fullness in my ear. Ear problem never fully went away. Another time diagnosed with an inflamed nerve in ear prescribed steroids. Helped but never fully went away. My throat issue has been a feeling of spasm and now fullness and when singing in a certain range voice is cracking. All this is on the left side and same side as extensive lymph node removal in armpit. Ear always feeling of fullness, feels like if I could drain it or put a suction cup inside it would release pressure. At times there is pain but usually just the pressure fullness with a feeling of fullness into my throat.
