For years I’ve had this problem. My right ear feels like it needs to pop. But it never does. The pressure just keeps building. It was doing it yesterday and it’s doing it again today.
I asked the doctor about it earlier this year, he confirmed it’s allergies and to take some Claritan (hate the way it makes me feel) or Benedryl (oooh, sleepy time) and use a nasal spray. I guess it’s a eustacian tube problem. Well, sleep is better than this annoying feeling. Yesterday I split a Benedryl, the problem went away and I didn’t fall asleep. Going to try this again today.
