I just blew my nose and my right ear popped. why does this happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eustachian tube: The ear and the nose are connected by a tube called the eustachian tube. When you blow your nose, the pressure can go up the eustachian tube and can cause the ear to pop. This is a normal phenomenon and is part of normal physiology.
