What Could Be Wrong Experiencing A Sudden Onset Of Blocked Ears And Sharp Pain On The Right Of The Head?

Over the last four days, I have experienced a sudden onset of blocked ears and the feeling that I am going to fall over. Last week, I had a few episodes of a sharp pain in the right side of my head. Can you give me some feedback please?
I am not in the position to give visa details - I will get myself to the hospital now. Thank you

Thank you for consulting with healthcare magic.

The ear is concerned with hearing as well as keeping the balance of our body. a feeling of blocked ear could well be due to some kind of infection in your ear cavity which lead to secretions pending up. The pressure could cause unusual sensations to the balance mechanism which results in tendency to fall over.

But all this cannot be confirmed without a physical examination hence I'd advice you to consult an ENT specialist and get yourself examined.
