Health Anxiety

[anonleo]

My right ear feels like it’s stopped up. Like when your ears are ringing but it’s not ringing. It’s really triggering my health anxiety 😩😩 why it doing det???

Hi anonleo, a stopped up ear can have several reasons.. of course when you've been

on a plane, altitude changes can cause that feeling. (I use to hate that)

Another reason is excess ear wax or sinus infection. If it continues it is always best

to consult your doctor. I can only speak from my own experience. xx

Did you get water in your ear? Even sweating can change the little hair, I believe their called sillia, in your ear canal does that and when they realize they don't need to protect the eardrum or they are done protecting it they will go back to their regular movement to detect sound. It happens and it's no big deal. If you feel there is something wrong with your hearing ask to see an ENT for further evaluation. Gentle hugs 🤗🤗

I'm thinking maybe your having a problem with ear wax. See a doctor to get your ears irrigated, it can affect your hearing. A couple years ago I felt like I couldn't hear that well, things seemed muffled. I had that done at my doctors office and suddenly I could hear much better. There's some over the counter at home kits you can do to try to help but I think it's best to see a doctor. And never try to clean the inside of your ear with Q-tips, you can get the cotton stuck inside your ear!!!!!
