I've been dealing with severe nasal blockage and loud snoring, and my ENT doctor recommended surgery. I'm hesitant to go under the knife since I'm also overweight and trying to lose weight. Could yoga actually help clear my nasal blockage permanently and reduce my snoring? The snoring is really disruptive and uncomfortable for me. What are my options besides surgery?

I've noticed this strange clicking sound in my ears. It's been quite bothersome, so I went to an ENT specialist, but he didn't find anything unusual. I'm really puzzled by this. Could there be something else happening with my ears that wasn't spotted? Any advice on what it might be or steps I should consider next?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I'm feeling really dizzy and it's been going on for about 5 weeks now. Can you tell me why this might be happening? Is dizziness like this common, and how long does it usually last for people with vertigo? I'm currently taking flunarizine and betahistine as prescribed by an ENT specialist. Do these medications seem right for my issue?

continue the same medication if symptoms persist consult ENT
