Why Ear and Head Pain When Up Aircraft

April 1st, 2011 4 comments

If we want to travel by planes, would have imagined how it feels when it was in the space. Well, what if while riding in an airplane we even feel uncomfortable because our ears and head hurt to even taste like heads going to explode?

Is this situation normal? This situation is called Occlusion Tubal or obstruction in the fallopian tubes in the ears. Tuba eustachius / Eusthacian tube is a channel that starts from the middle ear and ended up behind the base of the nose or throat area. This channel serves to balance the air pressure in the middle ear and outside air pressure.If there is pressure difference then this channel will open and allow air into the middle ear so that the pressure to be balanced.
