Sorry for bugging

[nickyyyy61]

I have a question I don’t think I’m sick i don’t feel sick but i do feel like i have thick mucus in the back of my throat when i swallow and it’s sometimes really sticky and hard to get out ( i know im sorry it’s disgusting) but can that be the cause for my ears to crackle/pop ? And just a little clogged feeling in ears ?

Could it possibly be your sinuses? I live in an area where there are more cows than people and my allergies go crazy here. I've never had allergies this bad until now and often it feels like I'm congested and have a hard time breathing. My ears often feel plugged and feel like they have to pop. I find that nasal spray helps a bit. Hopefully this helps a lil.

Good luck

I have no clue cause i did get sick for a couple days like 2 weeks ago I believe well maybe it was allergies I couldn’t really tell lol . But i have been having trouble just with the popping/clicking with swallowing and yawning. I do have mucus tho in the back of my throat cause i can feel it 😩its thick when i swallow well sometimes! Ha but thanks can i get over the counter nasal sprays ? Since a doctor is quite expensive for me right now 😩

It could definitely be allergies. It can make you feel sick. I've gotten bad to the point where all I could do was sleep all day. There was so much pressure in my head and eyes that I couldn't lift my head. When I would open my eyes the room would spin. It's an awful feeling and the symptoms vary depending on the person, area, etc. You can buy both allergy medicine and nasal spray over the counter. You could even talk to a pharmacist and tell them your symptoms and they'll recommend some over the counter stuff for you. Keep in mind sometimes it takes trying a few different brands and products to find what works. Hopefully you find something that works for you.

Yes i did take some over the counter meds and it went away thank god 🙏🏻 and yes it definitely can i felt like poop !!!! I get so shy asking them i have no clue why i guess cause i think they’ll tell me i cant ask them haha 😆 but i hope i find something I didn’t have the ear crackling before or popping or maybe i did i just didn’t pay attention cause lately all i been thinking about is my ears and ears and ears and it causes me bouts of anxiety and depression when i know it’s not the worse thing but ugh 😑 it gets to me . Thank you again tho i will be looking into some over the counter meds 😇

Just remember the ears drain into the throat so it could be wax buildup or a sinus drip. Ask to see an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialist they got all the good gadgets to let you know what is going on. Gentle hugs!

Truee i keep forgetting that 😩 it probably is but it’s hard right now since i dont have the funds for an ENT 😫 and thank you ❤️

[Sillysausage234]

Post nasal drip maybe?

[nickyyyy61 in reply to Sillysausage234]

Maybe i was thinking that too ,would you happen to know if that could cause ear crackling and popping? Or just a little bit of clogged ear lol 😩 i try not to panic . But it gets the best of me 😫

Sinus infection - you may not feel sick

GERD - you may not feel sick

Allergies causing post nasal drip - you may not feel sick

Yes, your ears are connected to the throat.

I always add drinking extra water, Mucinex, and cough it out.

[nickyyyy61 in reply to Lazy_dog_lover]

Thats whats weird about it the not feeling sick i do feel sometimes stuffiness but then it goes away which is weird . I just dont wanna be this way forever 😭 i hardly have mucus sometimes only at times i do !

[Lazy_dog_lover in reply to nickyyyy61]

Check weather.com and check allergen counts. Allergies change every 7 years or so. I wouldn't worry, but yes, I know how annoying it can be.

[nickyyyy61 in reply to Lazy_dog_lover]

Its says something about trees and grass and ragweed lol the it says for trees its high and grass is moderate but I’ve actually haven’t ever had allergy problems is what catches me off guard 😩 also it says local pollen alert but idk it’s all new to me i also sleep with a fan facing towards me idk if that’s a problem lol 😩

[Lazy_dog_lover in reply to nickyyyy61]

Fans definitely bother me. Too dehydrating.

Allergies change. I was allergic to bananas for 10 years. Never before and never since.

My last sinus infection took two rounds of antibiotics and my doc said the mucous and cough could linger for months.

Try adding a cool most humidifier.

sounds the same as my sinus problem. I dont feel at all poorly either it's just not nice! I use sterimar nasal spray every day and that helps, as does the drinking water suggestion from above. Steaming with a little vapour rub in the water also helps it feel clearer too. When mine is bad, nausea is definitely a problem so i try not to let it get to that stage. At worst, the doctors can prescribe a nasal spray which fights the inflammation to get it back under control.

[nickyyyy61 in reply to Cakelady74]

Yes i most definitely agree ! I have no clue if it’s allergies or not I’m so lost . And makes my depression spiral out of control i need to try the steaming with vapor rub but it seems like what i have would never go away 😫

I have severe panic disorder and ocd. I have this all the time. Especially when I eat and laugh. For me, it’s anxiety related. I know this, because it gets worse when I’m talking to people I don’t normally talk to. I end up having to cough a lot. I have allergies too so I’m sure that doesn’t help one bit (I’m allergic to dogs but have two of them because, ya know, dogs). Also, you can cut as much dairy out of your diet as you can and see if that helps. It’s done wonders for me. Hope you feel better!<3

[nickyyyy61 in reply to likachika]

I haven’t really had allergies alot is what confuses me im so lost 😩 i had no clue it could be anxiety related but i don’t think thats what causes it cause i have crackling and popping when i swallow or yawn but i should definitely try the no dairy , thank you for your words ! ❤️
