i'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this. chronic sinus problems are not uncommon and unfortunately there isn't always a good solution to fixing them. in answer to your question: no ear wax and sinus problems are not related. ear wax (also called "cerumen") is a combination of skin cells skin oils dust and other debris that can build up in the ear canal (the outer portion of the ear). people obsess about ear wax sometimes but unless your health care provider tells you to do something about the wax you can simply clean the ear canal with a damp washcloth. don't go poking cotton swabs in there! the swooshing sound you're describing when you stand up quickly may or may not be related to your sinuses or your eustachian tubes. many people experience a phenomenon called " orthostatic hypotension " which is fancy talk for "a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing. " you could possibly "hear" this when it occurs. or you could have fluid in your eustachian tubes. only a health care provider can tell for sure. i'd suggest you continue to see your family doctor about the problem and discuss whether or not s/he would refer you to a different ent doctor. there may be new treatments available since you last investigated this problem. hope this helps! you may have impacted ear wax like my fiance. you may need to go to your doctor and have your ears flushed out. they will remove all of the built up wax and clean out any residue that may be left. im no doctor but his father has had to do this multiple times but he never has any problems with it! hope this helps! as elizabeth suggested there is no link between ear wax and sinuses. i think a health care provider would be a real solution of the issues you are suffering from. you can also get a guide from your family doctor as he would be well aware of your health care history and suggest you with process ahead.
i have not had ear wax for several years yet i have constant sinus problems and pressure in my ears what should i do? . are these two things related? i have constant pressure above my eyes and in my ears. sometimes when i stand up i get swooshing sound in my ears and pressure above my eyes and i feel like i am getting a head rush and have to sit back down. i have been to an ent several years ago and had two sinus surgeries but still have all these problems. my family doctor has also tried to help to no avail. should i see a different ent or just continue to live with the pain as i have for 30 years.
