ear issues

I probably will end up heading to a doc about this, but wanted to see if anyone else had ever had it?

So for the last little bit my left ear has been acting up. Some days I get little stabby pains in it for a few seconds then it goes away. A lot of times I get it so I can hear my breathing in my ear really loudly (as weird as that sounds, those of you who have felt it will know what I'm talking about), and if that continues on for too long I get really light headed and dizzy. And it's only happening in my left ear.

I've never been one to have ear wax (this next part may be gross to some haha), ever really, and I still don't in my right ear, but last night my left ear felt really weird so I used my finger and tried to see if it was clogged because it felt clogged and I started pulling out all this black wax (like an inch worth, it was gross) and then my finger had a bit of blood on it.

Gross, I know.

So I thought Hey, maybe it was just clogged and that's what was causing the other things, but the other things are still happening.

Anyone ever have that? I don't think it's like an infection because I don't have a fever and it's not really all that painful, it's just weird right now, but I don't know. Maybe it's also some complications because I have a fake ear drum in that ear but I've nevvver had complications with that and it's been there since I was like 5.
