Yesterday, while I was making my descent on my second dive at 10 feet my right ear was not equalizing. I was performing the Valsalva Maneuver every couple of feet so I did it a couple of times in a row when the equalization problem started at 10 feet. Within seconds my right ear sounded as if air was being blown into it, then I got really dizzy. I ascended up a couple of feet and everything stopped. I was able to equalize and continue on with my descent. The same thing happened on my third dive. During the dives I did not experience any other issues. I was diving fresh cold water with a hood on. This morning I feel as if there is fluid in my ear and each time I swallow or yawn I hear a cracking noise in my right ear. There is no pain and I can hear clearly out of the ear. Did I damage my middle ear during the descent? Should I seek medical attention ASAP?
