What Causes The Feeling Of Fluid In Ears? I M Diagnosed With Reactive Airway.
I feel like I have water or fluid in my ears every day when I wake up. Also after a few minutes of waking up I start to feel dizzy. I was dx with Reactive Airway DZ. I also have puffy eyes and black under my eyes. I was wondering if this is all related to allergies??

Hello,
The short answer is yes. There's a tube like connection between the nose and the ear. Its responsible to maintain the middle ear pressure in accordance to the atmospheric pressure. In reactive airway disease, you tend to get nasal obstruction,whuch Will cause reduced ventilation,to the middle ear. This created a negative pressure leading to fluid accumulation in the ear.Sprays like xylometazoline will help,but temporary.
