Whenever I am during cardio and the intensity is really high my ears feel stuffed up like they are getting ready to pop. It feels sort of like when riding an airplane or traveling up or down a mountain. I was just wondering if anyone else experiences this and what may be causing it. Thanks!

It happens to me too and I only notice during cardio. Maybe our eutachean tubes contain a little fluid. I get worse around hay fever season, so I take a decongestant and it goes away.
 
Just wanted to chime in that I also experience ear popping during cardiovascular activity and I think it has to do with dehydration for me.

When I am well hydrated, my sinuses drain normally but if I am dehydrated then my sinus cavity has more gunk in it than normal and the added pressure causes the ear popping for me.

It is incredibly annoying though isn't it!
 
hi Laura!

my ears don't pop, but they do get 'stuffed up'. don't quote me on this mommies but i believe it is from your blood pressure going just a little bit too high. mine stops after i take a couple of deep breaths and my heart rate comes down a little.

have a healthy day;)
