why is my ear randomly throbbing?

Question

today i woke up and my left ear started throbbing on the inside, it kinda feels like my eardrum is throbbing.
it stops occasionally then starts again whenever i move or something.
i didn't drink any alcohol last night and i haven't gotten hit in the head recently.
what is going on with my ear?

Answer 1

Could be an infection. Sometimes when that happens the pain can be so bad it throbs. I've had it happen before.

I would recommend getting in touch with your doctor to see what they think is going on.
