ears - it feels they are blocked

[daisy11]

Well my INR have been all over the place and as feeling woozy today checked INR and it is 2.7 which is quite low for me and then I have a feeling of blocked ears and I want them to pop. I suffer from Tinnitis but never experienced this before. Will have to up the old warfarin tonight.

Hi I get that...I have Menieres disease which is one of the ear problems that can cause that....it also sends me of balance....more than usual!

Ask your gp if it could be as Tinnitis, labrynthitis & Menieres are all similar.

Hi

I have APS and my dad has not been tested. He has Menieres disease, and I was just wondering if there was any link between Aps and Menieres?

Have you tried ear drops? I have had tinnitus since I was 7, so the constant bell ringing is something I am able to usually ignore. But the "full" feeling --drives me batty. Over the counter olive oil based ear drops help. I get the most relief by standing in front of a mirror so I can see when my head is truely horizontal. Then I rotate my head a bit within the horizontal plane until I feel the ( relative ) cold oil hit just the right spot - then a 'poof' and relief!

I rarely have dizzy polls, so it sounds as though your issues are way more serious then mine. But still . . . Thought I'd share, just in case this helps.
