This might sound weird but lately my ears feel thoda blocked and muffled, like sound is far away. Im in second trimester. Is it a pregnancy thing or am i overthinking? anyone experienced this na?
Yes, fluid retention and increased blood flow can sometimes make your ears feel blocked or cause mild ringing. Don't worry too much, but if there is pain, definitely see an ENT doctor.
Omg, I thought I was going deaf because my ears felt so blocked in my second trimester! I panicked so badly, but my gynac said it's just blood pressure and fluid changes, and it went away after delivery.
Our bodies go through so many changes during this sacred time, dear. Keep listening to soft, peaceful prayers to calm your mind and mention this to your doctor during your next visit.
I felt a strange whooshing sound in my ears during my 6th month and got quite worried. My doctor told me it's common due to increased blood flow, and it actually went away on its own.
Sometimes normal cold and sinus block can affect your ears during pregnancy. Try simple steam inhalation at home, but don't put any random ear drops without asking your gynac.
