Blocked ear

To anyone not anyway (early in the morning) lol

I hv that problem .drs put me on nasal spary but doesn't help .now I am on antibiotics and nasal drops .I read even grinding teeth can cause eustachian tube dysfunction.

They say that acid reflux disease often involves the throat and can be associated or may cause ETD (one of the many associations). Some people with ETD do apparently complain of being light-headed. Terminology here is important - are you dizzy (room spins around you); do you have associated nausea/vomiting? True dizzyness (vertigo) with nausea/vomiting could mean Menieres disease which is associated with EDT. Light headed as in foggy head feeling is not vertigo. Anyway an ENT can rather quickly figure out if you have ETD and can determine whether you have vertigo or a foggy head feeling. If you have ETD, the problem is finding a cause and treatment that auctually works. Lumps in your  throat are best evaluated by an ENT.

Hi Colleen. 

Take things one at a time. The acid reflux? Do you have a good diet? If you do and still feel the sensation of acid reflux... you may consider this. I too once had what appeared to be acid reflux. I also had this feeling of a bulge or lump in my throat. My experience goes like this: The body is wrapped with Fascia. It wraps around everything. Look it up on the net. The fascia around my esophagus was so tight is was causing two problems. One: it felt constricted and bulgy. The second... and this important: The fascia being wrapped around my esophagus would pull on my stomach sphincter when I leaned my head back. This caused a false induced acid reflux. How to cure this is simple. Castor oil the front of your neck... lay over a clothe of sorts.. apply heating pack for twenty minutes. Repeat every day for a week. My throat was so tight I found a massage therapist that could actually work the facsia all around the part of the esophagus that is exposed. Fascia work is an everyday practice in Europe... Google structual therapist to find one in your area. 

Good luck

From my experiance you probably don't have any ET problems. They are more centralized in the ET area. 

Definitely sounds like acid reflux. The acid washes up on your esophagus and larynx (throat) area and that causes the feeling in your throat. Your sinuses and adenoids go into overdrive producing mucus to protect the liniing of your throat/esophagus and thus block the eustachian tube. That's why you feel the blocked ears. You need the get your reflux under control and it could take weeks or months depending on the severity of your problem. Nasal sprays and nasal rinses with help and the salt in the solutions will also soothe your throat and nasal cavities. Recommended treatment is 2x day proton pump inhibitors (Nexium, Protonix or Prilosec) and cutting out the most offending foods such as caffeine (no coffee at all), sodas, junk food (no french fries), spicy food etc. Also try not to eat after 7pm in the evening and instead of eating 3 larger meals try to eat 4-6 smaller meals. You'll be surprised at the results.
