Some Empty Nose Syndrome symptoms, ENT says it's too early for ENS

GettingDepressed
It has been almost 2 weeks since my septoplasty w/ SMR of my turbinates. I do feel a lot of air coming in but it feels like I'm breathing through a snorkel. It's loud and despite getting a lot of air I feel like I'm out of breath. It gets worse in the evening and has been effecting my quality of sleep. The air is dry and cold. Originally my breathing was a little blocked on one side due to an injury that took place a few months ago but it wasn't terrible. Is this ENS?
