Hi everyone,
For about two months now I've had blocked feeling ears after trying to dive with a bit of congestion. I'm still unable to equalise and as a result can't dive. I saw my GP and a dive doctor who told me he couldn't find anything majorly wrong, but could see fluid. He diagnosed me with eustachian tube dysfunction but reassured me I would be back to diving soon and stressed because I hadn't have problems before - I'd be okay. It seemed to get better and then worse again so I was told to use beconase spray for two weeks. I have, and seem to feel even more congested, my ears crackling, popping in and out
I reallyyyyy miss diving and just want to sort this out now! Before I go back to see the dive doctor, I wanted to ask here if anyone's had this problem and what might help that I can try. I'm really desperate at this point, I want to complete my training!
Thank you so much,
Amy
