Since you take Telma 20 (telmisartan) for blood pressure, we must be cautious. To prevent this, try using a generic decongestant nasal spray like oxymetazoline 30 minutes before descent to help equalize ear and sinus pressure. Taking generic paracetamol an hour before landing can also safely help manage the pain. During descent, try chewing gum, swallowing, or performing the Valsalva maneuver (gently exhaling with your mouth closed and nose pinched). Please consult your doctor to ensure these are safe for you.
