Are You Ear’s Blocked? If So, Your Allergies Could Be Affecting You
For many years, I had a feeling as if both sides of my face were numb. The first thought I had was that my childhood bruxism (teeth grinding) had aggrevated my jaw muscles. So I used a bunch of mouth pieces to hopefully reduce the symptoms.
Then one year, I worked at a bakery in the evenings and then at a Italian restaurant in the afternoons. What did both of these places have in common? Flower. Well, that feeling on the sides of my face started to increase.
A friend of mind told me that maybe it’s something with my ears. So I decided to go to an allergy specialists. My friends advice was the hidden secret. I found out that my Eustachian tubes were becoming swollen due to all of the flower I was breathing in - yeah I was intensely allergic to the flower. All these years I thought my jaw’s were messed up and caused block ear issues.
So how do you fix your blocked ear’s and get allergy relief? Simply put, start reducing the things in your life that increase your allergic symptoms. While my 2 jobs were bringing in the income, I was glad to find another job were I wasn’t put in an allergy causing environment. As you reduce the causes in your environment, medication can help. Whether you take an over the counter one, or an all natural allergy relief treatment, the main thing is that you have you histamine under control.
When asthma strikes, it is usually due to a constriction in the air passageways, which disallows a person to breathe normally and even produce a wheezing sound in severe cases.

Of late, great emphasis has been placed on administering asthma medication by inhalation, or via asthma inhalers, because they then act at the site of the problem (like the airways) and have fewer risks of the side effects commonly associated with oral administration. These side effects typically include shakiness, rapid heart rates, vomiting, jitters, headache and nausea.
It is most important to emphasize that asthma inhalers can be abused by overuse. An inhaler should be used no more frequently than two puffs up to every four to six hours. Your doctor should be notified if it is needed more frequently, as this may indicate that additional medication are needed. The major concern with inhaler overuse is that it may delay the necessary additional therapy or emergency treatment. In addition, irregular heartbeats may occur with inhaler abuse.

The symptoms of sinus infection are usually brought about by a swelling our sinus and nasal passageways. Whenever we feel some pressure and swelling around our eyes, accompanied by some tenderness in the cheeks, nose and forehead and some pressure in the middle part of our faces, it is likely that we are already suffering from a sinus infection.
This can be further identified with the presence of headache and some pain in the upper jaw and ear, as well as fever, a runny nose and congestion. Read the rest of this entry »
