Question: I took a bath a submerged my head in the water for roughly 5mins, later that night I sitting on the couch and had two pretty painful pops and the room started to spin. Was this due to water in my ear drum? Also my aniexty since has been crazy because it scared me that bad. I had a ct done blood work the whole work up at the hospital they didn’t find anything.

Brief Answer:
you need ear check up

Detailed Answer:
Hi ,
The episode you had after submurging head in water seems to be due to , water/air gushing in your middle ear ear..through throat or nose...this had irritated the eustachian tube that connects middle ear to nose&throat.
As this escaped out , it irritated the ear to cause pops&spinning spell.
I would advise to get a consultation of ENT specialist &MIR of ear to exclude any problem in middle or internal ear..(.this would prevent recurrance in future )&get needful treatment as advised.
I hope that helps.Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
