Ear blocked after my CABG bypass

[St03]

Does anyone get any ear muffled after surgery? My right ear is like a little blocked, a little muffled after 10days into my surgery.

Just curious if this is common. And having sleepless nights. I managed to wink only 30-60min and will be awake. Surely frustrating

Cheers

My husband had hearing problems for 2 months after his quad bypass. He likened it to getting water in the ear when swimming. It went away by itself.

All the very best to you xxx

It might be worth trying Earex or olive oil in case it is ear wax. Being moved between trolleys operating tables and beds when half out of it might have disturbed something.
