The last six months I've been suffering from Eustachian tube dysfunction and tmj. My ears have never popped so much before. I recently started physical therapy because my ent really believes my Eustachian tube problems are from my tense jaw and neck muscles.
I've always been an anxious person but this has all made it worse. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety and depression. Got put on Zoloft and began talking to a counselor. Ent says I need to find a way to relax my muscles in order to get my ear better.
But I'm scared because I feel like ever since I've started doing the stretches my ear popping has gotten worse (I've been there twice now). Is this normal? I'm just so scared it's not going to work and my problem will never go away.
