Hello

Thanks for reconsultation.

Your nausia on bending with increase in pressure indicates that vestibule of XXXXXXX ear is creating problem. Since your ears are blocked therefore eustachian tube obstruction will be consider as responsible for this.Therefore above treatment will be suitable for you.

Here I would like to tell you that NAUSEA, LIGHT HEADEDNESS, DIZZIESS, VERIGO and VOMITING all represent the same symptom and they are are having same pathological process, but they are named according to severity.

For instant relief from nausea you may take domperidone.

Regards.
