Feeling of fullness in ear when straining causes dizziness and headache. what should i do?

Middle ear fluid: Trapped fluid in the middle ear can cause dizziness and headaches. A decongestant typically reduces the inflammation and allows for the fluid to be reabsorbed. You can also try saline nasal washes to flush the nasal passages.
