Head and Ear congestion

By TD41

· 589 views

Good Afternoon,

 

Just curious has any one experienced head/ear congestion since being sleeved??? I am 9 days post-op and i wake up every daywith head congestion, ears feeling clogged etc. I find it odd considering that i have no other symptoms of a cold/allergies. Also, for the first few days of being home i constantly had dried blood in my nose or fragments whenever i would blow. I find myself constantly sniffing trying to clear up the drainage??? Just very curious if anyone has experienced this?? Thanks

    YES!!! My ears have been clogged since about a week post op. it's not so much my nose, just my ears, left ear being more predominate. I figured I was the only one like this. I have no idea how to treat it tho. Hopefully someone else can tell us! So far it has lasted about 2 weeks for me.

    It's from the intubation for anesthesia. Ask your doctor for Flonase (or any brand)
