I too have the hot ear. My friend Monica and I are plagued by this phenomenon. We thought we were the only ones. We were drinking Rolling Rock and recieved the unwelcome and all too familiar hot ear. Andre Cold Duck Champagne will relieve these symptoms temporarily, but will come on twice fold in about 5 minutes. So drink water with organic sea salt and about a teaspoon of lemon and chickory root, that should do it.
If it happens once, and never came back fine, but you don't understand the social situation with this problem. It can be compared to uncontrolled blushing or problem sweating. It can really hit at the worst time like a meeting infront of many people, etc. How can it not bother you to not look and feel normal. Not everything is about pain, maybe not physical pain, but it causes mental and emotiuon pain - you can't see ...
What bothers me is "not knowing" what it is. If I knew what it was and what was causing it and it wasn't going to cause problems later on then that's okay. But is it a "high" blood pressure problem - can it turn into a "high" blood pressure problem?
Me too. I just want to know the cause & if it's anything to worry about. It's always my right ear & I do have high blood pressure. I want to know if I should b concerned about this.
I think thia is very possibke I noticed it haooens when i have a srink of fireball.but i just started noticibg it i am not on high blood oressue meds eirher
You fool - my husband is dying in ICU of lung and heart failure but on top of this he clinches his teeth, trembles and grimaces as the ear turns hot, burn, stings, and is excruciating, ENT doc is too dumb to diagnose it - my EX husband took lightly the excruciating pain of a tumor growing in my uterus the size of a softball (until it was removed) - docs too dense to find it for 7 years of agaony because it was buried deep in me so my EX husband said why worry, who cares, you gotta take it like a man UNTIL he got kidney stones and was slung over on an ER counter too busy for immediate attention and had to endure - then he was in sheer agony - we are taught empathy all of us eventually - perhaps you should develop more empathy before Karma teaches it to you in a future year when you least expect it.
I'm worry, but you seem to overreacted on this one.
The symptoms your husband is experiencing speak more strongly to a constant condition, most likely trigeminal neuralgia.
The condition we're discussing is how, occasionally, one of our ears reddens for an as-yet uncertain reason(s).
As for me, it seems to clearly emanate from the trigeminal nerve, but not in the neuralgia sense. I've had it for over a decade, and I'm 25, male, O+, well managed/masked OCD. Also suffer from PTSD and panic disorder, which can affect me for six-months/year at a time, but eventually fade into the background.
Let's not take the O+ type into consideration, as it's the majority bloodtype, or rather plurality. I think it's est. at something like 37% of the population.
It can sometimes precede a headache, at least in my experience, located also on the same side (right). In any case, when it happens, I can feel the ear burning, or someone will notice & point it out.
I'd certainly like to see us all try some data collection. When it happens, what we've eaten, environment, etc. Also, my ear is right, and I'm right handed, though was left-handed as a kid; my parents were weirdos who believed lefties were in danger of going to hell or something.
So, we'd basically need to collect some general data about ourselves and medical histories, along with logs of when/where/under what circumstances.
I may be able to devote a section of my website with it, if those who've expressed interest still have it. We can put together a questionnaire, and obviously just use coded numbers for patient ids, or work totally anonymously.
Grey, I think collecting data is a really good idea. It will help us identify the high drivers of this. Please email me with information/ questionaire/weblink if available. Thanks
this sounds like a great idea. Could you write the adress of the website so I can contribute with my facts. My ears gets red in the afternoon or evening every single day. Triggers by touch,temp. change, lying down etc.
Grey- I'd like to know what you find out from the data. My 5-year-old son gets red ear or ears just about every evening at dinnertime. His father and uncle also get it. I am also a writer, and would be interested in writing an article about this research to make the issue more public. Obviously, it affects a lot of people.
Yes, it is a kind of pain. It is very uncomfortable and can stay that way for hours or days. There is no way to relieve the symptoms. My son can not sleep at night because of it. He has to put ice packs on his ears just to fall asleep. Please do not make light of other people's misery.

Why worry? It can't damage you and surely you're not in pain when your ears are hot.
