After running, there is a sense of blockage in the ear, which may be related to the congestion and edema of the mucosa of the Eustachian tube, cerumen impaction and other reasons.
1. Eustachian tube mucosa congestion and edema: when running causes breathing and blood circulation to accelerate, the mucosa of the Eustachian tube becomes relatively congested and edematous, which can temporarily block the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube, resulting in an imbalance between the middle ear pressure and the external atmospheric pressure, and then there is a sense of blockage in the ear, and a transient sense of blockage in the ear can be relieved soon after running, or relieve the problem with tympanic membrane massage or swallowing action.
2. Cerumen embolism: when the cerumen secretion of the external ear canal is too much and the discharge is not smooth, a large amount of cerumen can be deposited in the external ear canal, and the cerumen in the ear canal can move to the deeper part of the ear canal due to the vibration after running, for example, it can have a sense of blockage in the ear after it is tightly attached to the tympanic membrane.
When there is a feeling of blockage in the ear after running, you can actively consult a doctor for a systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis and cause of the disease.
