Hello,
Does anyone else get ear popping or blockage immediately on eating certain foods?
Suspects include: natural yoghurt, rubbish like children's birthday cakes (these also make me sweat) and oranges.
I have perennial allergic rhinitus so assume my Eustachian tubes are a bit "challenged" by all the allergy events happening near the nose.
With some foods the reaction is almost immediate. With others it takes a few minutes.
Oh, and does anyone else cough when they drink red wine?

Does it matter? It bothers me in that being clogged up always increases my anxiety levels. But other than that, need I do anything? Is everyone going to say eliminate dairy?

Thank you for reading.

goon - no I haven't been to the doctor myself as luckily it's never been a real problem, just a bit annoying when I'm trying to drink bucks fizz!
