I'm a 66 y/o woman who had deviated septum repair and turbinate reduction six months ago but my congestion and breathlessness is getting worse to the point where I feel like I'm dying. I can barely walk without seriously hyperventilating. My current ent keeps saying everything looks fine but now it has gotten to the point where I feel like it's urgent but I don't know if I need to find another ENT or go directly to a plastic surgeon. I need a surgeon who will accept my medicare.
