Clearing on the way down has nothing to do with the pressure clearing on the way up.
Usually people have issues clearing on the way down and few issues on the way up.
But it is possible you screwed your ears up on the way down, unknowingly, then realized you had soem issues when you started up.
There are way to many possibilities, so a decent ear doc, that is dive oriented, is a good idea to try to figure it out. You might be suprised to go to a non dive related ear doc and get little help. Designate your ear doc search as dive related for a much better experience is my recomendation.
I have had issues on the way up, but not like your issues. I have had vertigo upon accent a few times. I decided my issue was due to my sinuses at the beginning of the dive being warm and happy and everything working great. Then, toward the end if the dive my sinuses have thouroughly been chilled by the water. The estation tubes (the tube that eqalization has to use to eqalize) runs right up the side of your neck and, exposed to cold water, can turn the sinuses from warm and loose to cold and clogged is my theory. After much experimentation and testing, and docs, many years ago; I decided my fix was to use a wetsuit with a hood attached to keep my neck, and head, warm and my sinuses warm and happy.
Either my problem went away majically, or my little hood idea works, as I have had no issues since I implemted my little fix.
It's an idea for you anyway. If the water your diving is cold you might give the hood idea a try.
Blood is not a good thing and not normal. I think your instructor made alot of comments that are dangerous to your ears. Be careful with your ears and diving!
