Is my high blood pressure responsible for my ear pain?

Every time I am under stress or when my blood pressure goes up, I get a sharp pain in my ear. Are the two connected?

Hello,

Not usually, but high blood pressure may cause a pulsatile sound in the ear.

No.

Probably not, you sound like a possible TMJ syndrome. Talk to your ENT about this problem and he will check for it

No. Muscle spasm in neck or near ear is. Could also be clenching teeth, i.e. TMJ radiated pain.
