Do not split, chew, crush, or dissolve the DUEXIS tablet. If you forget to take a dose of DUEXIS, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, do not take the missed dose. Take the next dose on time. Do not take 2 doses at one time to make up for a missed dose. What are the possible side effects of DUEXIS?
So, why do your ears pop and why does your stomach drop when you're on an airplane? Your ears pop in airplanes because the air high above the surface of Earth is less dense than air near the surface, because air near the surface has all the air above it pushing down. Your inner ear has air trapped in it and as the atmospheric pressure changes, it causes pressure on your ear drum.
Thus causing the popping sensation when air suddenly rushes in or out of the tube. Dr. Eisenman says it's ok to try and equalize the pressure if your ears get uncomfortable. Eisenman: And the way you do it is by trying to get the eustachian tube to open and close, such as by swallowing or chewing on something. Or you can pinch your nose and try to push air actively back into the middle ears to do that. If you would like to pop a science question on us, call us at 1-800-WHY-ISIT.
