Since December of last year I have had Tinnitus, caused by Venlafaxine I think, I also had a root canal 3 weeks prior to this also. From around june this year, every time I swallow now my ears make a clicking sound, and from research I have done it could be some kind of eustachian tube problem, also strange globules of mucous sometimes fly out of my nose when I blow or sneeze, which could be possible congestion problem? Doctors have already put me on decongestants, antihistamines, tried antibiotics, nasal sprays and nose drops, also tried inhaling steam but problem just seems to return. I am now on a second nasal spray prescribed from the second ENT specialist I have seen (no help what so ever although I didn't say much), who also suggested grommets which may or may not work but that thought scares the hell out of me. When I lay down face forward to sleep or head in certain positions my ears or tubes stop clicking. I have become obsessed with this condition and it is ruining my mood and my life, I worry that my hearing is going to deteriorate if not treated properly, or I'm just going to make problems worse with valsalva maneuver, could a doctor or someone please give me your thoughts and any advice on the best actions to take on this, and any tips to help or try to help the problem.
Thanks for listening
