Im kinda scared...
Okay so I live in Kelowna and I just took a trip to Vancouver. Its around a 4-5 hour drive and we go like through the mountains and my ears popped a whole bunh. I just got home today and its only been like 2-3 hours and my ear started to feel like i had a whole ton of pressure. And when I move my head sometimes or bend down and come back up then it kinda sounds like I have water in there but I havent been in any since its winter. Adn when I bend down my ear hurts or if I put my head down and bring it back up it hurts. I tried cleaning my ear and it didnt work it keeps happening and the last time I put in a Q-tip a thing came out on it and it looked like kind of a.....a plastic tube but it was tiny and had ear wax onit but it was squishable. Im kinda scared does anyone know whats happening. Oh and I cant hear to to well in it and its my left ear if that helps :/

You need to see a doctor. Sounds like you may have ruptured or injured your eardrum. The only thing that should concern you is that you can't hear well out of it. That's the sign of something more serious than just pressure. Go get it checked out ASAP.

It might have just been way too much pressure for your body to handle so it's taking a long time for your ears to pop.
For one, stop cleaning out your ears and putting anything else inside of your ear canal. When you clean your ears with a Q-tip, it usually pushes a bit of whatever is inside your ear deeper into the canal and it will only make things worse.
I'm not sure what this plastic tube business is. Maybe it was just something that got caught in your ear a little while ago and you never noticed it, or maybe it came off of the Q-tip? Either way, it's another reason for you to stop trying to put things inside your ear in case you damage your eardrum.
Keep trying to hold your nose and mouth closed while forcing pressure to your ears to try and pop them now and then.
I also googled your problem and someone said to boil water and to inhale the steam? I'm not sure if this helps but it sounded interesting.
If you're still worried, then tell someone or send yourself to the doctor/ER/whatever is open. I'm not a doctor and I don't know how many people on here are, so we can't tell you exactly what's happening and it's better to be 100% that you're okay.
