I get mucus in back and above of throat. I had a deviated septum surgery. My breathing got much better with occasional blockage still, however, as time has gone I have a hard time sleeping at night as I feel that there is mucus that I cannot clear in the back and above my throat with tightness of throat. I have been using saline, I use 1 spray of dymista 50mcg in the morning and night and 2 sprays of Ipratropium bromide 0.03% and occasionally Afrin. I also take Pepcid complete 2 in the morning and night. I am getting anxiety at night
I have had it for many years but after moving from WA to a dry climate in AZ, the hole grew. I have seen several ENT's whom have said they don't feel comfortable fixing it and have all refereed me to the same 2 ENT's that specialize in larger septum perforations. They do not accept my insurance and I cannot pay $22,000. I have anxiety because I worry about it collapsing, breathing is difficult through my nose, it hurts, and sometimes bleeds. I am willing to travel anywhere in the USA.
I had a revision septoplasty to improve air flow in my right nostril and cautery of inferior turbinate in my left. My left airway already feels much more open with much less resistance and I'm finding it hard to regulate my breathing. It feels like I'm overinhaling and am much more conscious of my nasal breathing. This is causing a lot of anxiety. How long until I should get used to the new pattern of airflow?
No packing. However I do get anxiety attacks and need to be able to breath. I am also getting a full facelift and upper and lower eyelids done at the same time. So being able to breath is very important to me. I have also heard that having your nose fixed COULD make your breathing WORSE. Is this TRUE? Part of me was hoping for better breathing and less sinus infections. HELP. I just need to know the real deal for afterwards and what I can expect in terms of breathing. HELP ANYONE HELP SOON!
Hi I had a open septoplasty one month ago to fix a minor cleft palate. Ever since I got my cast off I can not leave my nose alone! First I left a flat indent from pressing too hard on my nose and after I got over that I caused my skin to slightly stretch and rip at the columella and where my nostril was cut open from smiling way too wide. I cannot put my mind at ease I know it's normal to have anxiety after rhinoplasty but not this bad I'm terrified that I ruined the results! I'm going insane:( Please Help
