Sudden Plugged Feeling in Both Ears

[racerfish]

Not sure what on earth is going on with my ears, but a short while ago both ears started to feel plugged up and I had a very light nauseous feeling for a short time which has since passed. However, the clogged feeling is still there and my T has increased noticeably. I'm able to hold my nose and blow and it clears things up for a minute, and then my ears feel all plugged up again. There's no pain. I'm just a little freaked out as to what this could be. Seems like it might just be plugged up tubes or something.

I spoke to an MD on call on the phone who said I probably just need a nasal steroid or sudafed but do plan on trying to get in to see an ENT as soon as I can. He didn't seem to think it was so urgent.

Anyone else ever experience this?

Welcome to Tinnitus Talk.
You could have a virus in your system and causing mucous pressure in your middle ear and eustation tubes.
Mine are the same at the moment and nose now running like a tap and watery eyes.

Try Sudafed or steam inhalation and nose spray and I think Vick on your chest works great with its strong vapour.
My ears feel crackly full of gunk too...
Hope over the next few days you start to feel better and ears settle down.

@glynis-harbon thanks for the info. I ended up taking 2 Sudafed and my ears are now back to normal. I'm even going to cancel the ENT appointment I made.
