I've been dealing with this weird pressure in my right ear for the past couple of years. It's especially noticeable whenever I talkit just feels uncomfortable. I've seen a bunch of ENT specialists, and I've heard everything from "it's a tonsil problem" to "there's no issue at all." It's super frustrating not having any answers. Could there be something else going on with my ear that hasn't been checked?

Question

I've been experiencing bitterness in my saliva for the past two days. It was really noticeable this morning before I brushed my teeth. What could be causing this weird taste?

I'm really worried because about 6 months ago, I had severe vertigo and unfortunately, it's returning. Back then, I was told it was BPPV and the Epley maneuver worked like magic. But now, I'm getting that dizzy spinning sensation again and there's this weird sound in my left ear. I've already gone through audiometry and a brain MRI, and thankfully, those tests came back normal. I'm stuck and not sure what to do next. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what might be going on?

Question

I'm having a lot of pain when I press on my tragus, antitragus, or anywhere in between, and it's been going on since Wednesday. It even wakes me up when I'm sleeping, because it just suddenly starts hurting at random times during the day too. I'm really worried about it. What could be causing this?
