Strong ear pressure on swallowing

Posted by david146 @david146, Apr 10, 2023

For the past five years I have had strong ear pressure every time that I swallow.I have small anterior osteophytes C5-C6 which my ENT doctors do not think is causing the problem,but they do not know the mechanism.I do not have P.E.T.

What has your ENT suggested to relieve the pressure?

My eustachian tubes function normally.My ENT thinks that the mechanism is a swallowing problem of some sort.The ear pressure is is a lot worse now than when it first started.

I have read about others having clicking on swallowing.I have strong pressure.It can be in either ear of both.Chin to chest tucking can help some.
