I have been experiencing left ear pressure, ringing, and a fluttering or vibrating sensation in my inner ear from certain sounds for about a month and a half. I had a bad head cold in October, and since then, my left ear has felt full of pressure and sometimes fluid. I've been to the clinic multiple times, had ear wax cleaned, and been on various medications, including antibiotics and Zyrtec, but the pressure and vibration persist. My ear drum is bulging, and there is fluid behind it. Should I be concerned about the urgency of this situation, and how long can the Eustachian tube stay blocked?

I am experiencing severe sudden onset of OCD where I am stressed about the possibility of air touching dirty objects and then touching me or new or clean things, leading to contamination. Can air touch one object and then another, making it contaminated? This is causing extreme OCD and I am feeling suicidal due to this. Please help urgently.

I have an umbilical hernia that has been present for three years and may have grown slightly larger. Some doctors say it looks incarcerated, while others say it is too small to be considered so. The hernia causes some discomfort but doesn't hurt when pressed and is firm, not reducing when pressed. What should I do about this?

I had to leave work today as a delivery driver because my vision became blurry/wavy and I felt like I was going to pass out. This is very unusual for me, but I did have COVID about 2 months ago. Is this a reported side effect of COVID recovery, and what should I do about it?
