What can I do about mild feeling in my ears and tension headache?

I have a mild feeling in my ear, like air trapped. Sometimes I get flare ups where the pressure gets heavy, aches, or itchess. Sometimes I get humming sound.

Sonetimes out of the blue I get a feeling where the volume goes down, ringing in thd ear then feel lightheaded, like I'm going to faint. It only lasts a few second.

I also get tension headache and tension in the ear and behind nose and eyes.
Its annoying when driving, going into an office environment or siop, or at home on a pc.
Glasses don't work. Had nasal sprays to reduce inflammation in sinuses in ear which doctor said there was a lot of.

It didn't do much.

I get clumsy, elevators and escalators give me dizzy deelinfs and heavy headed. Not like before.

Right now its very very mild, so unsure if I should get checked.
This has been going on and off for about a year now.

Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

An ENT consultation is required To assess for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and menierre s disease Which can present with these symptoms. If there is evidence of sinusitis contributing to the headache then antibiotics with the decongestants should be added for at least 2 to 3 weeks

Wishing you best of health
