What Do Eye Floaters And Popping Sensation In The Ears Indicate?

I’ve had floaters in my eyes for years, about 7, but 4 months ago the number increased. My ears pop every time I swallow or breathe deep and have been doing so for about 4 months. I’ve suffered with bad headaches for as long as I’ve been struggling with the floaters. It feels like there’s a rubber band around my head, growing tighter. I’m always tired, and it’s gotten to the point where I’ve completely lost my appetite, which sucks because I love food. I just can’t force myself anymore. I’ve lost 25 pounds in 2 months. This morning, for the second time this month, I threw up thick clear, VERY salty stuff. I’m a 20 year old female, 160 pounds, 5’1

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Floaters in eyes should be evaluated for retinal pathology.
Popping sensations on ear should be evaluated for middle and inner ear pathology. So consult ophthalmologist and ENT specialist. If everything is normal from their side then possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more likely. Teenagers are more prone for stress and anxiety. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressors in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs (Propranolol and Flunarizine combination) too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
