Hi, your symptoms are suggestive of Eustachian tube dysfunction and the pressure must have been because of blockade and then passage of air is when it has opened up. Sometimes with strenuous work, the Eustachian tube gets blocked. If the problem does not improve, use of nasal decongestant drops help. Regrads
