At times I do find it hard to breathe and I have had many sinus infections. After searching online I did find some similarities with my symptoms and symptoms of having a deviated septum. Do I have a deviated septum?
Since childhood Ive had a few accidents involving nasal trauma. It hadnt bothered me until the last time I injured it during an altercation. Since I've had issues breathing, feeling as though my passageways are blocked and I get facial pain around the upper portion of my nose that leads to headaches. When I rub the sides of my nose together I feel crackling. I don't think it will help but I attached a photo
I have sustained many injuries to my nose over the past 10 years. I have a large hump on the bridge of my nose that has built up over the years and also regularly get sinus infections. I have had a lot of trouble breathing through my right nostril most days but I can't breathe through it at all when my allergies flare up. I have very basic health insurance and I guess the biggest question is the cost of repairing my deviated septum and if the hump could also be removed during the procedure.
Had septoplasmy and turbinate and polyp removal/ reduction, 8months ago. I've had 5sinus infections and constantly congested. Is there something wrong? Never got sinus infections like this before. Had the surgery bc of my deviated septum and I'm a singer. This is way worse then before. Also had my tonsils removed the same time and I've had strep since the surgery.
When the splints were removed I could breathe! It got better each week. However, after about 6 months the bad side started to feel blocked again. I'm getting sinus infections again. I can't breathe out of my nose when I lay down. The bridge of my nose is now visibly flat. I also have a crease that runs halfway across the bottom portion of the bridge towards the tip. All of these things were not present before my surgery. Any advice?
I have had constant nasal congestion, head aches, sinus infections, ear infections, pressure in my ears, and post nasal drip for a while now. I recently got health insurance because I no longer live with my parents and can't be covered under their policy. My dr. gave me claritan, an antibiotic, singular, nasonex, and flonase. nothing improved my breathing after two weeks on all of the meds so my dr. ordered the ct scan of my paranasal sinuses those were my results. Will I need surgery?
I'm scheduled to have endoscopic sinus surgery and a septoplasty in a couple of week and feel as though I'm getting a head cold that usually turns into a sinus infection (which is partially why I'm getting the surgery). If I happen to have a sinus infection the day of surgery will they still perform it since that is the problem they plan on correcting anyway?
Was getting better until yesterday. Have been using saline nasal spray every 2-3 hours. Keeping my nose clean and crust free. Was told not to blow my nose. Unrelieved severe congestion making it hard to breathe started last night. Nothing helped. I feel like I have a sinus infection now. Sinuses burn coughing up yellow mucous which was previously clear or bloody. Did blow two large clots from right nostril but still congested on the left. What else can I do?
My surgeon says my nose looks good, very clean. But I feel as if I have a pretty awful sinus infection - not really something I was prone to before the surgery, which was mainly to correct a collapsed nostril and narrow airway. Not much discharge but just a lot of pain, exhaustion, and a very congested feeling. I read somewhere that this feeling is normal during recovery, but I am 6 weeks out at this point and this feeling is not really getting better. In fact some days I think it's worse.
I had septoplasty one month ago due to repeated sinus infections cold symptoms muscles aches and extream fatigue. After surgery I can see very slow improvement. Less dizziness nd fatigue but frequent sore throat, ear tightness all the time. No more blood and crust now but when I blow my nose some green thick mucus with dark bloody crust come. I HV dirty foul smell, still feel lightheadness sometimes. Asked my surgeon he said f9. My Improvement is OK? How much time it will take fully recovered.
