A 37-year-old female asked:

Will the pressure on ears flying in an airplane trigger vertigo?

Yes: It most certainly can. It can take months to go away. This is a big reason NOT to fly or go SCUBA diving when you have a cold or allergy attack. See your family doc or ENT for treatment. The very best of wishes for good health!
