I've been feeling like something's crawling in my ear for about a week now, but theres nothing actually there. I haven't been in a place where this could happen. It all kicked off when I had a cold and a runny nose. When I was clearing my nose, I felt pressure releasing from my ear too, which Ive never experienced before. Since then, my ear's just felt weird. Sometimes at night, I wake up because it feels like something's moving in my ear. It's happened a couple of times. Could this be something to worry about?
