Has anyone experienced this during pregnancy? My right ear has felt clogged for about 2 or more weeks now. Just woke up one morning with it like that. I believe it to be Tinnitus and it is extremely annoying. It's like coming home from a really loud rock concert and laying down in a quiet room. Like you can "hear noise". Now when I talk or hear others talk I hear an echo. The other ear seems fine but I have experienced some weird noises in that one as well.
I was shocked to find online that Tinnitus can in fact happen due to pregnancy and also stress (which I think is the biggest contributing factor). I don't think there is a time where I am not stressing over something.
Has anyone had this during their pregnancy? If so, what did you do to help it? I did go to an ear and throat doctor but he couldn't give me any meds due to my pregnancy, so he gave me nasal spray because he said I had a bit of an infection but he also said it would go away on its own. I've only used the spray once and don't know if I should keep using it. Advice??
