Sinuses always feel blocked for years; can breath through nose; ears pop & feel blocked though there's no buildup of wax or hearing restriction. help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinus issues: Your symptoms could be a lot of things ranging from a deviated nasal septum to nasal polyps to chronic sinusitis. Even poorly controlled allergies could cause this. Nasal and sinus symptoms often cause problems with the eustachian tube, which will give the ears a plugged up feeling because it doesn't ventilate the middle ear. The eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the back of the nose.

My left ear has been popping alot recently this started a year ago and the amount of pops has gone up I have titinus if that's the reason and its really annoying and I have to hold my nose and breath to fix it what should I do?
Continous popping sounds both ears for a few months now. No blocked or runny nose, no allergies, no wax in ears. Tried antihistamines, flomist, Iliadin, mucolytics and decongestants without relief.
Can congested sinuses cause temporary hearing loss? Sometimes, hearing in my left ear is less sharp than my right ear--but if I pinch my nose and blow and pop my ears, it clears up for the rest of the day. What's going on?
I have a tightness in my throat and blocked sinuses (nose isn't runny). It feels like I can't catch my breath and I even wake up during the night because it feels like I'm suffocating, my head spins. I have the hiccups when I get up in the mornings?
I have clicking/popping sound in ear when I burp Im almost 99% sure it isnt ear wax. I also have sudden onset tinnitus in right ear no noticeable hearing loss. Could it be Eustachian Tube dysfunction and glue ear?
