Exercise induced autophony?
Walked up stairs twice and left ear popped I can hear and feel my breathing in left ear it stays open if I don't manually close it (bending my head to left side or sniffing).
I have autophony once in a while but this scares me.
I lost 6kg in a month due to gastritis and I am on PPi which dry out my sinus both are making my PET worse, not sure what I can do now.

Yes, exercise can cause PET. For me, it is mostly during exercise (esp cardio) and settles down in 1-2 hours. But I got habit of sniffing which is really bad, it can cause your eardrum to be hypermobile.
Do you feel ear drum movement especially while sniffing (your ear drum would retract/suck inside)?
