A member asked:
Is it possible that tight neck muscles can cause eustachian tube problems ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tight Neck Muscles: Yes. This is quite common. Pay attention to your sitting posture during the day and avoid straining the neck muscles. Try an otc "heat" creme to the tight neck muscles and a short course of any decongestant, assuming you are not on blood pressure medications.
