Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / July 2006could sinusitis plug up my ears? flem backed up in throat. getting surgery!
somedays, i feel ive got a bunch of flem in the back and it sometimes plugs one of my ears up. for ppl that run or exercise, do you once in a while feel like you're going to pass out because of all that flem in the back and feels like you're not getting enough oxygen to your brain, kind of a stuffy feeling? hopefully the surgery I'm going to have will fix it all up. I talked to an ENT a couple weeks ago and I'm going to schedule an the surgery in September. He's been doing this for over 15 years, 3000+ procedures with no major problems. Pretty good track record right? This is to fix my chronic sinusitis that I've had the last 4+ years. pood, I also have mucous at the back of my thoat and yes my ears feel full alot. When I exercise, mucous flows down my throat but I do feel as if I can breathe better though. What type of surgery are you having? Are they going to anything to your turbinates? > somedays, i feel ive got a bunch of flem in the back and it sometimes > plugs one of my ears up.

My PC doctor has seen fluid behind my ears on many occasions, but noone connected it with sinusitis until the ENT who opened up my frontal and sphenoid sinuses a little over a week ago saw a grayish fluid actually going into my eustachian tubes before the surgery. I don't know yet whether it is (still there, but not as bad) inflammation, infection or both. Cultures and tissue biopsies are being done and I don't have the results yet. I even had an ENT write in my records once that my PC doctor has mistakenly diagnosed me with fluid behind my ears. This was 2 months later, the soonest I could get an appointment.
