When I went to an ENT, the doctor didn't even examine me and asked, 'Have you lost weight rapidly recently?'" revealing his experience due to extreme dieting.

He continued, "There is a thin tube in the ear called the Eustachian tube, and the fat there also disappeared, making it all flabby," and added, "He said there was nothing to prescribe, and that if I eat well and rest, it should be fine within a week."
