Chronic Congestion 3 Months Post-Rhino- Is This Normal?

gothamgirl
I had rhinoplasty about 3 months ago and I'm still very congested. I am wheezing when I breathe and when I speak I get out of breath quickly. I also sound very nasal when I speak and friends have commented that they don't recognize my voice on the phone. Is this normal? I've tried decongestants but they don't really help. Before rhinoplasty I didn't have any breathing or nasal problems. Now I feel that the surgery has caused problems. Help!
