I had the same symptoms and saw an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist). Believe it or not, he diagnosed me with LPR - It's another form of acid reflux called Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. This type of reflux goes beyond your lower esphagus and affects your throat, voicebox, and can even affect your airways (nasal passages and eustacian tubes in ears) if they're narrow like mine. I've never even experienced the classic "heartburn" with my reflux, rather, have clogged ears, chronic nagging type cough and constantly clearing my throat - it feels like a lump in there. Bottom line, my doc put me on Nexium and I watch what I eat and feel great. Have a bad day here and there, but it's usually if I've eaten a trigger food. Good luck!!

I have a lot of pressure in my head and my ears and throat are killing me what could be the cause?

Well all the symptoms that you have described seem to point typical sinus problems and even a sinus infection.Pressure in the head can be due to congested sinuses. When your sinuses become congested they build up pressure in the head and this in turn also results in your body draining mucus down the back of the throat (this condition is known as post nasal drip). When your mucus is infected and it is drained down the back of the throat it ussually leads to a sore throat/ throat infection. The pain in the ears is also as a result of the congestion, because your ears are connected to your sinuses throuth the eustachian tube. When the sinuses become congested we ofte nfind that our ears feel blocked. When there is a sinus infection we may even get earaches.
