Has anyone experienced this problem? It has been 3 days now and it's like water is stuck in my left ear. It all started a rough day after throwing up and I thought it would go away but the problem still exists. Just wondering if it's something I should go and get checked out.?

    Not Uncommon...
    I believe there have been posts on this before....actually fairly recently.

    So more than likely someone will chime in soon on their experiences and solutions.

    Best,
    John

    Been there done that
    I too had the problem in fact I ended up getting tubes in my ears to relieve the pressure (I had to fly a lot at that time). I did find that an antihistimine helped a bit. I also had mucus pluging up the area and got a nasal irrigator that fits on a Waterpic and that did wonders clearing up the canal area. First try was an experience, I didn't know that the water I forced up the left nostril would shoot out of the right one. The relief was the second best I ever had. :>)
