sinus infection..........you sinus' do run all through your head.
Sounds like you have an inner ear infection. It's time to go to the doctor.
This may be an ear infection or mastoiditis, which is an infection of the bone behind your ear. Are you certain you aren't grinding your teeth at night?
Do you have any tenderness or swelling behind your ears? Do your ears feel congested or plugged? Swelling behind the ears could be lymph node swelling which would be symptomatic of someone with a cold or flu and this usually goes away when the virus does. If your ears are congested and feel plugged you should see your doctor right away. There are ear drops they can give you that will help you.
If you have had recurring ear infections you could have an infection in the mastoid bone behind your ear. You should go see your primary physician right away. He'll be able to determine what is wrong. Never put off seeing the doctor when you have pain in or around your ears because ear infections can become chronic. Take it from someone who knows from experience.
