Thanks for using health care magic. I read your query and It apparently looks like eustachian tube dysfunction. i will advice you to consult the E.N.T specialist who can get the tympanometry done . I will also suggest you to get the Blood pressure monitored at that time. as stabbing or pulsatile headache could be due to this condition.
If still in doubt, please feel free to see a doctor. Please don’t hesitate to consult and ask for any more queries.
With best wishes for a speedy cure
