    Hi there- yes I’ve had it, on the right side of my head for a few weeks- not exactly sure how long..a month maybe..? Anyway..i took Advil and Sudafed decongestant and it finally went away on its own (or it was a sinus issue that finally cleared up).. I was completely worried about it but I did a ton of looking on this forum and others and it was definitely mentioned as a symptom of perimenopause...like so many other annoying things I’ve dealt with. Try not to panic and go for a check up if you think you need to..but this was one of my first terrible, stressful symptoms of peri and it’s gone and I feel a lot better. Hang in there and reach out if necessary.

    Yes. I have pain in my right ear all of the time. I went to my Dr 3 times, thinking that maybe he miss and ear infection. Diagnosis, but they are clear. At the end of December, I was diagnosed with a severe Double ear infection, following pneumonia, and that was very painful. Now I can tell the difference. I never want to have an ear infection like that again! My head gets pressure and I can hear my heart beat in my ears sometimes. My BP is ideal, so I know it’s not high blood pressure found this.   

    I hope this helps
