Seems we are finding some common bonds here - I also am type O, negative. My blood pressure fluctuates, low in morning, higher in evening. Changed lifestyle about a month ago, cutting sweets altogether, and eating much healthier - having a glass of wine once in a while. The left ear burns with drinking wine, face flushing added. When I am in kitchen cooking, everything facial is red ! My husband calls me 'rosy cheeks'. Also a Christian, don't think that has anything to do with this problem. Rob, you state you have stress - relax and let God handle the stress, he's going to be up all night anyway. If you can control it, do what you know is right and get it done. If you can't control it, let it go, and let God take care of it AND YOU!!! Don't think age has any bearing on this condition - I am 63. God bless everyone. ps. ice packs do help, the tongue thing does not.J
I also get this red ear phenomenon. I too have a blood type of O. I have high blood pressure and stress. This recently started to me only about 8 months ago off and on. I am 24 years of age. Sometimes it is only my right ear that gets hot, other times both ears. I eat well and keep the junk food to a minimum. I no longer drink. I don't partake in street drugs. I do however smoke cigarettes. I am a christian (coming from a spiritual standpoint). Just curious to what other similarities exist among our red group. Maybe it is more than just a dilation of blood vessels. Look forward to any responses.
