Hi,
I'm relatively new to scuba with 16 dives so far. I seem to experience a recurring problem:
1) I have more trouble than most equalizing my right ear. It gets there in the end, but it takes a while and causes some pain as I descend (even if slowly)
2) I often get traces of blood/nosebleed from the right nostril at the end of a dive
3) The right ear can remain blocked for several days after a dive, even with various attempts to equalize it by holding my nose and swallowing etc
Does anyone have any advice? Is this a serious problem, should I see a doctor etc?
