What Is The Treatment For Constant Pressure In Ears And Dizziness?
I had a bad cold about two weeks ago. Head and cough. Now, I feel as though the cold is gone for the most part but now I have a constant pressure in my ears that sounds like an ocean and I can hear it with every heartbeat. I also am experience dizziness every couple of hours.

This could be a sinus infection. Based on the fact that the cold symptoms have resolved, it's probable that this is viral, in which case it should also resolve in the next few days. As with any illness, fluids and rest are key. If it doesn't resolve, then your illness may be bacterial, in which case you would need an antibiotic. It would be wise in that case to see your doctor so the proper treatment can be prescribed.
