Your symptoms seem to be related to more of a panic attack. Discuss this with your doctor as there are medications that can help.

The problem with your ear is what is most likely making you experience the vertigo (dizzy feeling)Go to the pharmacy and get a decongestant over the counter. That will help resolve the clooged ear.

If the symptoms do not resolve with the help of a secongestant, it is best that you make an appointment with a n ENT (ear, nose & throat specialist) for an accurate diagnosis and to rule out infection.
