You need an exam: Tightness on one side of the head and shoulder along with neck and ear heaviness, that is relieved by lying down, suggest a mechanical cause. It may be due to several possibilities.  These would include, among others, muscle strain in the neck/shoulder area and possibly a pinched nerve coming from your neck.  Although the latter would usually cause pain, when turning your head to either side.
