Posted on Thu, 6 Oct 2016
Question: Does Anemia cause ears to be blocked (sometimes).
Say a second of blocking, about ten times a day.
Plus hyper sensitivity to sound, left ear cocks like a dog's on hearing higher decibels and sudden sounds like the door closing downstairs.

May be

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Anemia is actual loss of hemoglobin, which is the oxygen carrying molecule in the human body. So if there is reduced oxygen to the cells it can cause multitude of ill defined symptoms. The cells lining in the airway tube could be devoid of the oxygne and suffer. There by they may extract fluid into the tube causing it block.

Dizziness and giddiness could be an anemia condition. All the above conditions depends on the grade of anemia.

I suggest to get this tested by Primary care physician. I rarely account ear blocking to anemia directly before I could think of other related conditions like infection, allergy in practice.
Note: Consult an experienced Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist online for further follow up on ear, nose, and throat issues - Book a Call now.
