ENT evaluation: I would suggest a full ENT evaluation and ct of your your sinuses. It sounds like you may have fluid or mucous in your inner ear or eustachain tubes. You may need a short course of tapered Prednisone and/or a good over the counter antihistamine like zyrtec (cetirizine).

Stop smoking: Stop smoking also would be top of the list, as your lungs can't clear the phlegm produced, plus the carcinogenic potential is high (metaplastic changes to lung tissue). Your symptoms sound like its nicotine related, and your chronic taking of decongestants was masking your symptoms. Plus, if you had taken decongestants chronically, you could end up with rebound congestion.
