Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath And Ear Blockage
I feel shortness of breath,and at times I have to breath harder to get the perfect breath. My both ears are kind of blocked, and when I yawn I feel it that it s blocked as no air moves from the inner ear. I have mucus, but not much but it s pure clean.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have shortness of breath and ear blockage . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like post nasal drip , upper respiratory track infection , chest infection or ear infection .
The symptoms can also occur eustachian tube dysfunction. The symptoms can also occur due to condition like asthma , food allergy or psychological problem lie stress and anxiety .I would suggest you to consult chest specialist for proper examination .
Doctor may order chest x-ray , check vitals and blood test . Doctor may also order sleep study to rule out sleep apnea . Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux problem . Doctor may also recommend CPAP machine for sleep apnea .
For now eat light and non spicy specially at night , take steam , take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist for asthma like condition or ENT specialist . Doctor may prescribe expectorant along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
