On and off blocked ear

2016-02-10 05:16:47
Last week I woke with my left ear feeling heavy and blocked and it has been continuing since then. I have used Otrivin nasal spray thrice a day for two days, while it gave me relief for one day, today I woke up with the same issue again. Just as an FYI, I have high BP and was diagnosed with minor cervical spondylitis that had caused vertigo and nausea in December 2015.
