Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ear pain and headaches which can be cause by many factors like stress, Eustachian tube dysfunction, temporomandibular joint problem , wisdom tooth , cervical spondolysis and increase blood pressure. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like audiometery , CT scan ,MRI , low and high pitched ringing to rule out conditions like exposure to loud noises , earwax build-up , middle ear infection. Put otogesic ear drops in ear. You should take steam inhalation on daily basis. You should take antibiotics along with anti inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen and diclofenac. Avoid excessive hard substance eating.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
