Hi. I also have that pressure /some ear pain here and there and feel like I’m in a tunnel daily! My ears won’t really fully pop like u say and I have the long covid fatigue for the past 10 months ! It’s so draining. I’ve never been so disgusted because the drs have no clue one is trying really to help me. I’ve had so many tests done. So far what we’ve concluded is it can be long covid or it can be a rare ear issue called superior canal dehiscence syndrome. He’s not 💯 sold on either. He thinks it can be a combo of both maybe. I’ve taken tests which can show the rare ear issue but to help me with that he needs to be more sure because the remedy if surgery. That’s scary to me. So I’ve tried steroids because Covid is all about inflammation and they seemed to help a little when on them. Idk if you have this issue but I’m also very sensitive to sounds now. I can hear fine. It’s that I hear my own voice muffled and things sound too much. U do get some vertigo and some ringing in my right ear. I went to 3 ENT drs. And this is what I got …. Still very crappy and tired and so now I’ve read a lot on long covid and am trying the nic patch to help with the long covid fatigue so idk if it’ll help but I’m out of options. Idk what to do. I’m so depressed and tired daily. I try and do things but when I go loud places it bothers me and I feel sick lightheaded feeling. It’s very isolating.
