Wondering if anyone has had an experience like mine and if they have any suggestions. I'm confident this is a temporay problem but I'm still getting frustrated with this whole condition. Here's my situation:
I had a sinus infection about a month ago. I went to my GP and was given a treatment of Levaquin for 14 days. On day ten I was still have some sinus pressure and the doc gave me a cortizone injection.
By the end of the drug treatment I was feeling fine. I have allergies and have some sinus pressure all the time. It has never affected my diving or caused an equalization problem. So I went diving and had some problems with equalization. I was only at ten feet but I didn't want to push it. So I stayed around eight feet for awhile and then aborted the dive. I figured I had some swelling.
I tried again the next two weeks and was able to equalize to 25 feet. At 25 feet I had some fullness in my ears. I immediately began a slow ascend upon the senation of fullness in my ears. I continued my dives around 20 feet with no problems. I've had no pain, no dizziness, or any other problems besides the fullness at 25 feet. DAN is not sure what's going on. I'm going to an ENT this week since I can't figure out the problem. Anyone with a similar problem? I'd be interested to hear your story.
Thanks
