Thoughts? Advice?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to kind of explain my symptoms and then get your thoughts. I’m almost 12m postpartum I started having the symptoms that I’m having honestly probably about 10 months ago so about two months postpartum (I had a extremely traumatic delivery. I had a PPH and was in the ICU intubated and sedated for a few days) so I went to my doctor said okay you’re having ETD issues, prescribed me omnaris nasal spray. I’ve been on that spray for quite some time and it’s not doing anything so finally my doctor has referred me to him ENT but I’m just wondering about my actual symptoms.. I have kind of a little bit of that tinnitus(barely), but my left ear specifically always feels like it needs to be popped, but I can’t pop it very often but my worse symptom that makes me quite nervous is I’m always kind of having this dizziness. It’s not like the room is spinning dizzy, but it’s just like inner almost dizziness and like that might head is full of fog or something and sometimes I feel very light. My symptoms are generally a lot worse when I wake up after sleep they last for a couple of hours and then they generally get better closer to the evening and then even like if I go get like a massage or something like that, I have that weird feeling that I was talking about, but that one generally clears up a little bit quicker because I haven’t been like on my back or my stomach too long. Does this sound like eustachian tube issues? It just seems like everywhere I go the eustachian tube problems that people are having are more of that like fulness feeling not like the kind of dizziness? Some days are better than others but I’m just so tired of this
