Deviated septum. Would a nose job help me breathe through my nose while running, sleep better&control exercise induced rhinitis?

Asked By:jessica esposito in Maryland, MD

I have a slightly deviated septum. Whenever I run I usually only breathe through my mouth as since I get more air opposed to breathing through my nose. Would a nose job help improve my quality of life when I am exercising? Also, could I get better sleep if my deviated septum is fixed? And would anything change with my exercise induced rhinitis? Thank you all in advance!! You're answers are so very helpful!!!
