I scuba dived once and blew out a sinus in my forehead. Did that hurt? My oath it did. I once flew with a "touch of hayfever". The pain was unbelievable. I had to hand over to the fellow studend instructor to fly. It felt like someone was shoving a pencil in my ear. Fortunately my ear didn't burst but it ached for a week.
As others have said, don't fly.

Turbo, mate, sounds like you are speeding off your head with that combination. I have found that ventolin will help me in a weights session but I hated the heart palpitations.(mildly asthmatic) Something ain't right if you have to do that.
I once corrected a Dr on the medication that they gave me. I did the research and it turned out I was allergic to it (I worked in a biochem department at Uni). I am not too sure that you are going about it the right way. Remember, aviation Dr's are conservative and there is a very good reason for it.
