My ear feels clogged & hurts a bit, and tickles when i tilt my head right back and then forward also. what might be the cause?

Wax buildup: Sounds like you have wax build up with some part that's loose. See your pcp and have them examine and clean out your ear as needed. Don't try to do it yourself because you don't want to damage your ear drum especially if you have a large amount of wax buildup.
