What Causes Pressure In The Ears And Back Of The Head?
I have been having feeling pressure in my ears and pressure on back of my head for over a week going on two. It started out with a real bad headache for few days then the headache part went away leaving me with this pressure feeling in my ears. I went to the doctor 3 times bc I was concerned. The doctor ordered CDC it came back fine. I do feel like there s a knot on the back side of my head. It s tender to the touch but I have been massaging it thinking it could be a muscle knot. Could it be?

Hello,
The presence and pain in back of head may be related to spondylitis. It also can cause pressure in ears. I can suggest you to do a X-ray of neck to check it. Taking anti-inflammatory drugs such Advil or acetaminophen is advisable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
