I have several things that may or may not be related... My ears are plugged and have been for about three years. I find a bit of relief when I head to the higher elevation where I live, but just a little. If I yawn, they pop for a bit, but, temporarily. Then about two years ago, I got a film over my eye and I kept rubbing to try to velar it. After a couple hours it cleared up. Then later, it spread to both eyes and now it is worse. I have been to eye dr and they tested eyes...no glaucoma or cataracts. I have worn glasses since kindergarten and now I m 50! Have a very strong astigmatism. I seem to clench my teeth almost continually, or at best, put pressure on front teeth with tongue. I grind my teeth when sleeping and have worn my teeth a bit because of it! My uvula is all the way down to the tongue and has a couple small growths on it. I have experienced total airway blocked for maybe 30 seconds where I can t speak or inhale any air and then it comes back slowly. I start being able to get a bit of air and start coughing. Then, it feels like I swallowed water down the wrong tube! Just some of my issues, :) YYYY@YYYY
