Has anyone felt like pressure in their head?

Question

I feel like I'm about to get my ears plugged but its not. Its a weird feeling in my head like pressure and don't know what to do. Any advice or has anyone felt this before. Also I can feel my heart pounding and kind of scared.

Answer 1

It is most likely sinus related. Your ears and sinuses are very connected! If you don't have high blood pressure, try a decongestant like sudafed (it will help with the drainage in your ears.) Don't freak out about it! I get that all the time too and it really feels just like you described it, like a balloon. I have even felt dizzy and lightheaded with those feelings before. Dont let your heart pounding bother you, its most likely just anxiety related to the worry you have about your head pressure. Anxiety does seem to magnify most problems. If sudafed doesn't help, try going to your regular doctor, or a specialist (Ear, nose, throat doctor aka. ENT or otolaryngologists.) Feel better!

Answer 2

Just calm down try washing your face with warm water, hold your nose and try to breathe out of it gently, it might be your ears, or get a cotton bud and clean your ears as you may have some sort of ear infection / headache lay down and get some rest, if it continues consult your parents and go to the doctors / A&E depending on how bad it is, but im sure you will be fine, good luck :)
