Why do I experience extremely sharp pain in my head, neck, and ears during flights?

Question

After a short flight of about one hour I awoke suddenly with extremely sharp pain running from the base of my neck to my head and my ears....The pain was almost unbearable almost to the point were I alerted a flight attendant. Now about ten hours later my ears and head are still hurting.

Answer 1

Sounds like an ear infection. Or trapped wax.

go to the store and get some Debrox and rinse your  ears out using with water using a baby syringe and warm water.

I have it happen alot.

Answer 2

That sounds pretty serious.  I would get it checked out right away.  If you see a chiropractor then you can probably get an appointment right away.  My sister in Seattle used Dr Walia at  http://www.drjaswalia.com when she had severe neck pain earlier this year.  Maybe you can email them with questions.
