Hi all,
Luckily I don't seem to have any polyps, infections or anything else going on. It seems that my T and ETD come from a habit of sniffling which I developed when I moved to London, combine with tension in my neck and right shoulder. All seem to combine to basically block my Eustachian tube and build up congestion in my sinuses. After that it's a case of one affecting the other in turn and T persisting.
It's all on one side, and when it relaxes and clears it's a real sign that something mechanical and hygiene related is, hopefully, key for me. But any advice on a routine for me to follow would be really appreciated.
I've had intermittent relief from a range of things including neck massage and things that clear my sinuses such as saunas, swimming, long fresh air walks, any time I've had a temperature and sometimes from exercise, etc. But I haven't put together a consistent pattern of using nasal rinse, etc etc in a way that has stuck. From what I've read here there could be real benefit to being systematic and persistent, but a little more info describing a successful approach to getting sinus decongested, eustachian tubes to clear and in turn any success with T would be great to hear.
Thanks a lot.
