I have this same problem! I went to the doctor, and she also told me it is an aura associated with migraines (which I do get). I also get a red ear when I am tired, stressed, or angry. It will always start in the left ear, and sometimes it will "travel" to the right ear. So strange!!
I took my 6 year old son to childrens hospital early this morning due to neck pain. I thought it was a ear ache. Turns out to be that he slept on his neck wrong.
Now, hours later his left ear is bright red and hot Very bizarre
i thought i was weird for having this problem..but now..wow.. i know im not at all weird.. it might be one of those syndromes you guys mentioned..i was a vegan til recently, i started eating pork and chicken.. now i get the sleepless nights and migraines and the red hot left ear for no apparent reason.sometimes it does "travel" from left to right.. but its always on the left.. i thought it was an old wives tale (that somebody was cursing me) or something..but now i think it might be a med condition.. hmm.. good luck to us..
My son Alex - who is 6 and mildly autistic suffers from red ears as well. Without a doubt, it stems from a food allergy. 2 hours after injesting foods with high phenolic contents, his ear or ears turn bright red and are hot. After an hour or so it passes. You Can confirm testing thru Great Plain Labrotories with their IgG 96 food panel delayed reaction food test (simple blood draw). Cost of test $200.
i dont get migraines but im very stressed,tired,work too much with kids and job.i notice when i drink or get angry/stressed it really happens but in both ears,right ear especially.i am also type o neg?or pos? not sure.but it seems there is definately a link going by all the o types on here find out any info let me know.ill do the same. thanx
OK, add me to the "red ear" group as well! I have had red, hot ears now for about an hour and it has happened before. It has happened when I've been angry, was drinking alcohol or stressed. Right now, I'm stressed but my blood pressure is only 130/80. I, too, am type o+. I do get the rare migraine. I'm 34 and have had maybe 6 or 8 in my life. I'm hoping if anyone is still watching this site for research purposes, this info will help. I do understand the ones who complain of it being somewhat embarrassing. As far as physical pain, the burning sensation is more of an uncomfortable thing, very uncomfortable, but not so much actually painful. Good luck to all who sympathize! Thanks!
