Pressure and heaviness in the head and ears could be due to sinusitis.
I could help you better, it you detailed your symptoms.
Do you suffer from headaches? Runny nose? Sneezing? Cough? Complaints since when? Are there recurrences?
Do travel by air a lot? Do the ears feel plugged?
Management:
1. Vitamin C is the best remedy to fight sinusitis. It gives the immune system a boost and prevents recurrences. Drink the juice of 1 lime every morning, on rising.
2. Roast about 3-4 tablespoons of caraway seeds. Crush them slightly and inhale the vapors. This will bring instant relief to the heaviness of the head, and clear a blocked nose.
3. In case, of an episode, consume 2 raw flakes of garlic. Garlic helps to break up the mucus congestion. Also, add lots of garlic to your meals.
4. Kali bichromium, a homoeopathic medicine cures sinusitis.
5. Identify the foods that bring on the trouble and steadily avoid them.
It would also be necessary to rule out anemia. (Get your haemoglobin level assessed).

Since your blood sugar levels and blood cholesterol levels have been on the higher side, you have diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Get your blood pressure assessed.
Management:
I’m sending you the basic dietary dos and don’ts that you ought to bear in mind:
• Cut down on simple sugars – white sugar, jaggery, and honey. Avoid artificial sweeteners too, they are not recommended. You could make it a gradual process.
• Stay away from saturated fats – margarine, butter, and ghee. They are rich in cholesterol, and so not good for you.
• Refined and processed foods are a complete no – no. they are loaded with trans fats which will aggravate your condition.
• Do not consume any animal fats. Red meat is detrimental to your health. Lean meat and fish can be had once a week.
• Cut down on the consumption of oil.
• Let fruits and vegetables be the mainstay of your diet.
Embarking on some form of exercise, on a regular basis is advised.
