Clogged Left Ear...please Help Posted: 01-16-06 02:04am
I'm 18 yrs. Old. I have a problem with
my left ear. I don't remember when it
started (maybe a week ago), but whenever
i'm cold and blow my nose, my left ear
gets clogged for some reason and I can
hear my heartbeat. However, there's no
pain at all (which i'm glad). Is this
normal? How can I stop this from
happening? Maybe I have this because I
have allergies? Should I take sudafed
since maybe my sinus is having to do with
it? Also, my left ear gets clogged after
I work out (lifting weights) and I could
hear my heartbeat and my breathing in my
left ear when it's clogged. It's really
annoying.
Also, just earlier today when I woke up, I
felt really lightheaded. It was like
everything was dark when I opened my eyes
and felt confused as if I was gonna faint
or pass out. Has this happened to
anybody? At the time, I woked up all of a
sudden because I had to help somebody out.
What is the caused of this? My left ear
was clogged too at the same time that I
could hear myself whenever I talk or
breathe.
Please help.

I kinda had the same thing. Ended up it
was an ear infection....Even though the
infection is gone, there is still some
minor swelling which will cause you to
feel off balance. I had the same feeling
as you as if I was going to pass out, but
your not.....Your equilibrium is off
balance. It messes up my workout. Make
sure your breathing properly....Important
though I never heard my heartbeat,ringing,
or any echoing in my ears
go see a ent.. Mine told me it's just a
plugged estuchian tube, and gave me a
steroid and decongestant.
