Pain behind ear

[This too shall pass]

Hiya guys,

I've been having weird pressure headaches and I've noticed that on touching behind me ear, it's a bit tender. I can sometimes feel it when swallowing too.

Anyone else having/ had anything simular?

I'm obviously having the usual brain tumour/ aneurysm/ stroke worries.

Bah! Hate anxiety.

It sounds to me like tension or TMJ which is usually caused by clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth which can happen if you're feeling stressed/anxious. I have pain behind both ears at the moment and in my jaw. I've been to the dentist about it before and he said that there are exercises online that you can do to help.
