Hi, I went on a dive on sunday that is a steep decline from 20ft all the way down to 140+ feet. We followed the decline to about 70ft (so it wasn't a quick drop to 70) which probably took 5-10 minutes. During the decline, I had some equalization issues, I turned around, equalized, and then started descending again. On my way back up, I had reverse equalization issues, cleared the minor problem and ascended fine.
However, since then, my ears constantly pop (specifically my left one), and if I try to blow my nose, air comes out of my left ear as if it was equalizing, popping. It doesn't hurt or anything unless I blow really hard, but I was wondering if this is a sign of serious damage or just a minor thing.
I am planning to a night dive on wed, and wanted to know if I was safe.
Any suggestions/opinions?
