Is this odd? My ears seem to be stuffy, but I have no symptoms of a cold, or of seasonal sinus, which also commonly includes headache for me. Just came on this afternoon.

Allergies?

Use neti pot. Will clean out other stuff and help relax tissues lining your sinuses, which will help.

I've had that. Only to discover, it's my teeth. Even went to a Specialist once, he told me you don't have an infection. So, I tried to figure it out myself. When I stopped grinding my teeth, the stuffy ears stopped.

I don't know if it is the same thing, but my ears - really mostly one was filled with fluid for almost a month. Sometimes it was so bad I could not hear. I tried warm packs, flushing with warm water and vinegar, antihistamines, even resorted to some antibiotics the doctor had given my husband for ear infection - nothing worked.

We go out of town once a month to a thrift store that has half price on the last Saturday of the month. We buy books - lots of books. The books are shelved all the way to the floor, and there are lots of them. I can't kneel or squat, without a lot of trouble, so I have to just bend all the way over and hold my head to one side. After some time, I noticed my ear kinda 'gurgled' - nothing painful, just noticed it and it continued for about 20 minutes. When I got back in the car, my ear was clear.

I'm guessing the fluid traveled to a point it could get out - don't know. I've tried to wonder how I can replicate that action here at home if they fill up again and decided I would just demand to go book shopping again.
