Will Blood Pressure Cause Left Eustacian Tube To Get Plugged?
For the last 3 weeks I have had a heart beat pounding in my left ear. When I went to the Doctor to have her look in my ear she found wax which she removed and my blood pressure was 160/94, the highest it has ever been in my life! I thought it was from allergies as my left eustacian tube periodically can get plugged. Could this be due to the blood pressure?

no dear high blood pressure doesn't clog your Eustachian tube at all. high BP cause pounding sensation in the ear but never clogs the tubes.
