Hi Guys

This is my first post here am I really hoping someone out there can help me please!

Basically I want to be cabin crew on long haul flights.

However, I have problems with my ears. I have seen an ENT consultant this week and have been diagnosed with allergic rhinitis which is causing problems equilbrilizing.

When I fly for holidays I get mild pain on descent and my ears will 'pop'.

The consultant is aware of my plans to enter the airline industry and has prescribed a nasal spray for 4 months to see if this helps. I am trying to eliminate dairy, wheat and use nasal rinses.

If this does not work I may need grommets to help.

I am so worried the airlines will not issue a medical certificate and deny my intended career.

Has anyone had allergic rhinitis and was cleared medically wise to allow a cabin crew career? Am I wasting my time applying?

Any answers and feedback is most welcome and appreciated. Thank you
