Hi Larry:

I have similar symptoms, except I also wake up with a headache, along with the pressure in my head. Mine has gotten worse since the pollen is so bad in this area. My doctors associate my problem(s) with pollen and sinus. My right ear hurts, but only when I lay on that side, which is strange. My ear doesn't hurt during the day when I am up. You will love being on this forum; you'll learn so much. Also, there is always someone who will answer any questions you might have concerning any new symptoms, or treatments. Welcome.
