Yawning sensation in my ear?

dlofnep

Anyone have any idea what this is? I've had a yawning sensation in my right ear all day. It feels like I'm yawning, but not - Kinda gentle air pressure in my ear. It's not sore, very mild - Just curious as to what it might be.

First thought is, ear infection.

What ever it is, get it checked out, probably nothing to worry about but best to be sure/

Have you been swimming or taken a flight recently?

Nope, not swimming or flying. It does kinda feel like water is in my ear though, but it's not water. But now that you mention swimming - the sensation does feel a little closer to water. Certainly not water though!

OK, well again it would appear that ear infection is the most likley candidate.

The one and only ear infection I've been diagnosed with was (I believe) was a consequence of not drying the ear out properly after a shower and then heading out on the beer on a very cold night.

off to the GP with you dlofnep if your concerned. Ears are funny things, you never really notice you've got them til something goes a bit awry with them.

This is getting locked now, as no-one here could or should be giving diagnosis on your issue.
