Do I have a deviated septum? (photos)

October 23, 2014
Asked By:Lookn4help in Long Island, NY

I've had trouble breathing for quite some time now. I've also had 4 sinus infections in a year. I searched online & came across a site that mentioned the symptoms I have could be signs of a deviated septum. I saw photos as well & could swear the inside of my nose looks similar. I'm not familiarized with the anatomy of the nose, but as silly as I felt, I took pictures for your review. If I do have a deviated septum, am I a candidate for surgery & will my insurance pay for this type of procedure?
