Hello. For the past 9 months or so I have had a constant pressure in my right ear. I try swallowing, but it does not pop the ear, as normally it would. During exercise, especially once my heartbeat gets up and I am breathing heavily, it feels like a balloon expanding and contracting within my ear. I have already had a check-up from my physician / doctor, and an exam by an Ear Nose Throat doctor on the outside of my ear. I think it is coming from the inside. I punctured my right ear drum a few years back, but it has already healed and scarred over.
