What can i do for ears that keep popping?

Question

Can't take decongestant due to high blood pressure.

Answer 1

Try coricidin HBP, it's a decongestant for people with high blood pressure. Also, try running your thumbs-with some pressure-down the ear canal and the side of your neck to help move some of the crud in the ear down to the throat, which causes a different problem, but helps the ear popping.

Answer 2

I have high blood pressure too
I have found the old poppy ears problem can be dealt with quite well by an OTC medication called Bisolvon tablets or liquid ....it thins the mucus in the inner ear and allows it to drain away down the eustachian tubes ... some people have an anatomically 'difficult to drain ' set of eustachian tubes ... more horizontal so mucus tends to sit there .
Usually I am more in favour of natural solutions to health issues but when it is something like this obviously more mechanical/uniquely physical I think you can cheat and use the chemists drugs!!!...as long as you are not breastfeeding or similar!! good luck ...give it a go !!

Answer 3

Since you can't take decongestants, try this. Its not medic, but just try, it might help. Hold your nose with your hands, and then try to blow out. The popping might stop.

Answer 4

Go to a health food store and ask for ear candles-chances are you have wax build up and have pushed it further into the canal with qtip usage- candling creates a suction, pulls out the wax, and opens the canal for better hearing ability! Sound weird- trust me it works- my mom is a chiropractor and she does this because I have excessive build- up! Try it, it can't hurt.

Answer 5

try a little olive oil in your ear while holding your head sideways for a minute. If there is water inside it will come to the top.

Answer 6

yawning helps. when you yawn it stabilizes the pressure in your ears which is what causes the popping.

Answer 7

Suck some sweets...
