This provided absolutely no change, however once the tube went into the right ear the left ear started to slowly feel stuffy as well, but not to the same level. Next ENT checked the eustachian tubes for any dysfunction and found nothing. A battery of hearing tests showed my hearing was fine, but the reflex in my right ear was off/not occurring (though he dr also noted that would not cause the full feeling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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.

4. Could this be Eustachian tube dysfunction caused by the reasons mentioned in question 3?
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.
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 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.
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. After the cough subside I started to have throat pain again when I wake up then it would proceed to get better during the day and then towards the end of the day it's uncomfortable to say the least .
This can be caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction. Speak to your doctor about this. Things that often help Eustachian tube dysfunction include taking an antihistamine (generally associated with allergy medication and can often be bought over the counter), nsaids such as ibuprofen and benedryl. Chewing gum, swallowing or yawning may help as well. https://www.healthline.

Went to the ER where they diagnosed Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and was given antihistimines, which only make me groggy.
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.
I asked if you could provide placebo-controlled studies to support your liberal use of antihistamines for eustachian tube dysfunction. These would be found using, for example, PubMed or simply searching through the core Otolaryngology journals. They aren't there. Because Google or Wikipedia said so should be meaningless to us.
Your statement that, "antihistaminics...reduce the nasal as well as congestion around the opening of the Eustachian tube" is simply unproven.
After various doctor visits, I went to an ENT in February who diagnosed me with eustachian tube dysfunction and recommended ear tubes to allow my eustachian tubes to have time to work correctly again. For the last three months I have also suffered continuous dizziness/lightheadedness with extreme fatigue and a feeling of head 'fuzziness'.
I tried some alternative treatments for the dizziness, to no avail. I am now scheduled to go in on May 18 to get ear tubes inserted.

These measures will help in opening the Eustachian tube. For prescription of nasal decongestants, consult your doctor as they should be taken under prescription.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
I see some of the posts u make concerning eustachian tube dysfunction. I've had this now for 4 months, cant get my tube to open all the way. I went thru 52 days of 4 different antibiotics, 2 rounds of prednisone one in Jan. One in Feb.still blocked. They do crinkle and crackle a lot so my allergist said that is good, cause it means air is trying to go through but not enough to fully pop them. I've tried the steam, pinching the nose and blowing I do a nasal spray also.
As Eric has mention previously it sounds likely that your son is suffering from Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). Once the Eustachian tube (tube from nose to ear) blocks it creates a negative pressure in the middle ear cavity, this is sort of like a vacuum effect in the middle ear, hence the eardrum retracting inward. Is your son sometimes nasally and a mouth breather? The trick with ETD is Eustachian tube stimulation to unblock the tube, however it is likely to clear on its own.
