I’ve had this weird, constant pressure in my ears for about two months now, almost like I’m descending in a plane that never lands. My doctor mentioned it could be related to eustachian tube dysfunction, but the decongestants he suggested haven’t made a dent. I’m just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this specific kind of unrelenting fullness and what your experience was like.
That ear fullness persisting for months would wear me down too. I can imagine the constant pressure feels heavy and exhausting.
If eustachian tube dysfunction is the culprit the relief from decongestants can be inconsistent and the tube may stay blocked longer than usual.
I used to think ear fullness was just wax or a loud night of traffic but it turned out to involve nerves and jaw tension as well.
It feels like a cycle of pills without finding a root cause maybe a second opinion from an ear nose throat doctor would help.
If fullness shows up as the main signal maybe we rethink how daily habits breathing and posture affect your ears rather than chasing a single diagnosis.
Keep a diary noting when it worsens any activity fatigue or weather changes and bring this to the next visit it may help.
