Ear Fullness
Its been a while since I have been experiencing this problem. I get a feeling of heavyness/fullness in my right ear. And whenever I sleep, it tends to get numb and feels heavy but doesn't cause any pain. It feels like some fluid is stuck in my ear but even after numerous attempts, it won't come out. Please help me diagnose this problem. I hope its nothing serious.
