flonase eustachian tube

My dad is 80 years and has been diagnosed with PET. That is Patulous Eustachian Tube disease. He has been on steriods, antihistamines, flonase, and even alternative homeopathic medicines like a combination of iodine and hormones. Nothing is working. He had dentures put in about 2 years ago and that is when the ear problems started. The dental plate never seem to fit properly even though he went back for numerous re-fittings.

How did your Dr. check your eustachian tubes and said they were fine? If you can't pop your ear it is due to Eustachian tube not opening. My advice would be to get a ct scan or an MRI to see if they can see anything blocking the tube.

And inflammation in the nose and sinuses can cause inflammation around the Eustachian tube, which is the tube that runs from the back of the nose to the middle ear and is responsible for draining the middle ear of fluid. If there is Eustachian tube dysfunction from nose or sinus inflammation, fluid can remain in the middle ear which can lead to dizziness. The best diagnosis for this problem is a CT of the sinuses. Surgery is recommended to patients that fail maximal medical treatment.

Hi, This must probably be an Eustachian tube dysfunction, I think you can continue with the nasal spray, saline nasal drops and steam inhalation 2-3 times/day. Drink plenty of warm water. If the symptoms does not subside please do consult your ENT specialist. Any more doubts you are welcome.

Seemed to get much better with steroids but then came right back. ENT said eustachian tube dysfunction due to allergies (tested positive for various inhalent allergies) and said to use Xyzal and Flonase. Xyzal made me too sleepy so stopped, and Flonase has done nothing. ENT said it would take Flonase a month to clear up the ETD.

They are all interrelated. Inflammation in the nose, throat and sinuses can cause inflammation around the Eustachian tube, which is the tube that runs from the back of the nose to the middle ear and is responsible for draining the middle ear of fluid. If there is Eustachian tube dysfunction from nose or sinus inflammation, fluid can remain in the middle ear which can lead to fullness in the ears and consequent tinnitus. So, don't worry and discuss these options with your doctor.

It is really concerning and I am not sure what to do. I do have eustachian tube dysfunction and some problems with my sinus that I am taking Flonase for. Should I be seeing a neurologist? My primary doctor does not think so and feels it may be a manifestation of anxiety. I also notice it more a week or so prior to my menstrual cycle. It is really starting to scare me. Thank you.

This is more so as you have episodes where you feel the ‘opening up’ and temporary relief from pain. In Eustachian tubes dysfunction, the blockage can be intermittent. If the Eustachian tube dysfunction, does not resolve with medical therapy like nasal sprays, then surgical options are the choice of treatment. Myringotomy, where a tiny slit is made in the eardrum to aspirate any middle ear fluid and to allow temporary ventilation into the middle ear space.

He also said my turbinates were inflamed or swollen. Under diagnosis he has Allergic Rhinitis, Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, Inf. Turbinates, and Tinnitus, which I told him about. He took me off the decongestants and gave me Flonase nasal spray. Will this have any effect on my ears popping? He said if my condition persists to come back in a few months and he will go from there. Worst case: Ear Tubes. What is the success rate of that?

Starting to Google it, I found that this might be related to my Eustachian tube that connects to my middle ear. I found some associated products that helped me cope commuting to work through mountain road elevations buying a product called EarPlanes, which I was able to avoid getting my ear getting filled too much, although it doesn't work 100% and sometimes, if the road is too bumpy or has sudden stops, it could triggers my symptoms.

yes! I bet it is!!! I think that herpes virus (causing canker sores) can cause allergic reactions that are quite bad...this would make sense with you. I wanted to let you know that my ringing sounds like yours, no beeping, but tv monitor hissing. Some days not bad, some days BAD. But, it started at the height of allergy season. I was just diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Apparently, ear ringing is a side effect of this.

Oh, I had terrible Eustachian tube dysfunction! And it was a chronic problem for a long time. then it turned into a situation of an episode every few years. I think your doctor is a little wrong as the inner ear muscles also can affect your eyes. And vertigo and dizziness can do a job on ability to see as well. Let me know what else has happened with this since you last wrote and we'll go from there.

Never really got congested but sore throat hit me hard as well as fatigue ear pain just felt terrible . The doc said it was a virus with Eustachian tube dysfunction . Sge put me on Flonase The sore throat went awar but was left with a persistent cough for a week . I would wake up and it was so hard to swallow because the Mucus in my throat was so sick.

i finally saw a doctor today after a year of sinus and eustachian tube symptoms and off and on dizziness. mostly it was the spooky dizziness that made me want to see a doctor.

This sounds like it could be Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, but you should see an ENT specialist for a full diagnosis. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Patulous Eustachian tube, also known as patent Eustachian tube, is the name of a rare physical disorder where the Eustachian tube, which is normally closed, instead stays intermittently open. When this occurs, the patient experiences autophony, the hearing of self-generated sounds. These sounds, such as one's own breathing, voice, and heartbeat, vibrate directly onto the ear drum and can create a "bucket on the head" effect.

I have used peroxide, rubbing alcohol, massage, etc. But I was told that because the fluid is in the Eustachian tube, that neither of these things will help drain the fluid... it takes either steroids, antihistamines, and/or decongestants. It's so irritating dealing with this for 7 months now. I guess I may have to see an ENT, which I was hoping to avoid. Thank you for your advice!

The Eustachian tube is a tube that links the nasopharynx to the middle ear. The Eustachian tube also drains mucus from the middle ear. So if it becomes swollen shut or clogged, the symptoms you described will occur. For those that experience chronic daily problems with Eustachian tube dysfunction, benefit by aggressive control of allergies (with antihistamines, decongestants, and prescription nasal sprays). Allergy evaluation can be helpful.

Hi Alisa, You should have a full exam by an ENT specialist to include hearing testing and acoustic reflexes. This could be Eustachian tube dysfunction, but could also represent early otosclerosis or other disorders. Hope this helps. Good luck!

This also caused slightly blurred vision and an aversion to bright light. I was diagnosed with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction but unsure if this is the correct diagnosis. It has flared up again and I feel so weak and tired. Neck muscles feel tight and into my arms. Having difficulty sleeping too. Has anyone had similar symptoms and got a diagnosis or suggest anything that will help?

I have this weird ear pain that goes away when I open my mouth, has anyone experienced this? I have been told it my be Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Any thoughts on how to permanently stop the pain? I can't walk around with my mouth open, obviously.

I've had chronic ear infections in my right ear starting at 15 years old, I'm 30 now. The doctors say it's Eustachian tube dysfunction, and since 2009 I've had three tubes put in my right ear, the first two fell out but so far the third one's held on. That has decreased the infections somewhat, but I still get them. I asked my ENT if there was any way to prevent this and he laughed and said "Go back in time!

I was adviced to do the so called Eustachian Tube excercises, as chewing gum, or drink with a straw, blow with my nose pinched, etc, but it does nothing but make me feel worse, some times I feel pain, and many times I feel even more preassure in my ears after doing the excercises, but rarely I feel my hearing improves if at all, My main concern is damaging my ears with this autoinflation excercises, besides several times I went to the doctor after doing this ET excercises and doctor told me my

I have experienced ear/eustachian tube pain in both ears (although one is much worse) since a dentist appointment to repair a broken tooth 2 months ago. Doctors have suggested, and I have tried, decongestants, Garasone, Nasonex, Neti pot, Advil Cold and Sinus. Nothing is working. The glands in my neck are sore and swollen. There does not seem to be much, if any, good news to be found on the resolution of this condition. Any suggestions??
