it used to happen every once in a while, but lately every time I fly I have MASSIVE pressure build up. I pop my ears, but that only goes so far before the pressure overwhelms me. First it mutes out all sound as my ears plug up. If I'm lucky, it stops there and normalizes after landing. If I am unlucky, it continues to build until I get massive stabbing pains that feel like somebody is smashing a fork into my face around my eyes. It is unbearable. Two NYC trips ago, I was overwhelmed with pain and was taken out of commission for 8 hours just lying in the hotel room clothing my face.
Not cool.
