Similar thing happened. I was on a flight, totally normal. During the flight my nose blocks up a little bit.
As we land, the worst kind of “your head is going to explode” sensation. Eyes watering. So much pain I’m rocking back and forward in my seat. Nothing can be done. Nothing can stop it.
Ended up losing my hearing (both ears) for 2 months, everything sounded like it was underwater, not even distant. But underwater.
Anyway. Turns out I have some random allergy to birch trees and being within 2km of one when it’s pollinating can block me up.
Utterly horrifying experience. Losing a sense is no joke. Makes you understand how fragile the human form is.
