Both Ears feel blocked on and off

For about a week or so my left ear started to feel blocked.
not fully blocked but about 50%.
for a context I never had an issue with my ears before but occasionally get a swimmer ear or boil inside the canal and Otomize spray usually works.
I never had a mid er infection etc or anything like that.
So this left ear feels funny blocked, no pain, nothing.
A week later the other ear started the same.
It is on and off.
Also anytime I burp my right ear feels blocked for second and then clears out.
I had my ears checked in beginning of January and all was ok.
I can’t see what is causing it.
Any one similar experience?

I have sudden hearing loss and it never recovered, I would see your GP asap you may need steroids, they left the steroids too late for me which is the reason it never returned, mine was just one ear though not both.

@Sweetpea1989 im actually on steroids now and that’s when it occurred.
im taking Prednisolone for non related issues.

I also asked yesterday in a pharmacy for advice, but they just said it’s probably wax issue but I never had any wax issues before so why suddenly now and in both ears on and off?
I have no colds or anything but I suffer from lots of allergies for many years and again, these are very manageable…
