Every night for the past couple of months, my ears fill with fluid. For the past 6 months I have had some ear problem off and on (fluid and ears closing), but especially for the past couple of months. I don t have much pain at all, but every night light clockwork they fill up with this clear fluid. If I sleep on my side, it will drain out of my ear. Could me be overweight have anything to do with this? I have gained some weight in the past 6 months. I also have a fuller face, so I m wondering if putting extra weight on contricts my ears in any way? It s getting quite annoying!
