Hi nothing to worry at all. There is a tube at back of ears connecting the nose and throat which opens and closes whenever we swallow or yawn to maintain the pressure between inside ears and outside. But since you feel pressure get an impedance test for ears that will check if the pressures in the ears are fine or not. Depending on the report medicines and nasal drops can be advised. You can also do steam inhalation. Do some chewing carrots that will help releasing the pressures. Take care.
