What can cause a feeling of low pressure in the ear after a hit on the head?
Patient: A friend of mine asked me to look this up for her. She hit her head on Sunday. On Monday, she began to feel pressure in her ears. She describes it as being similar to what one feels on an airplane. There is no hearing loss; she is not in pain. But she wonders whether she should see a physician. Thank you! Doctor: YES SHOULD AS THE AREA IN THE HEAD REPRESENTING EARS MAY HAVE HEART INFLAMED OR BRUISED TO CAUSE PRESSURE IN THE EARNEED TO SEE DOCTOR FOR CT SCAN HEAD ALONG WITH INTERNAL EARS AND LOBES OF BRAIN REPRESENTING EARS AND TREAT ACCORDING TO RESULTS
