Eustachian tube question
I am not a pilot but I thought you may know about this problem:
I did have sinus problems but everything gone (once a day steriod nasal spray) they only thing left is my eustachian tubes have not recovered. In a non-heated environment they are fine, but within minutes of walking into a centrally heated room, or an air-con car, my ears feel full and I cannot unblock them. The only thing that works if that happens is oral sudofed and hours later (and much fresh air) they recover.
I am flying in 2 days and terrified as to what will happen to the tubes then? Please help! Wilol the change in air pressure have the same effect? Is taking sudofed before boarding enough, or should it be actifed? (bear in mind there is no mucus) ? many thanks
