I recently had a deviated septum and inferior and middle turbinate reduction. I was only in pain for 2 days with very minimal bleeding, which is great! I can't make any sudden movements because I'm always so dizzy. I have slight head pressure, which comes and goes. I can barely hear and my ears are constantly popping. Is it because of the stints in my nose? Thanks.
Hello...I don't have the best health record due to my constant battle with my sinus. It seems every year for the past 5 years now I've been having at least sinus infections 3-4 times a year. To make it worse I also get bad ear infections due to the mucus build up. I have seen my ENT doctor and he had several X-rays of my deviated septum which led him to advise that I should surgically get this fixed. Since I have a chronic sinus problem, would it be a good time to get a septoplasty?
I am experiencing an unusual (for me) but enduring headache and pressure, from behind the nose, above and behind the eyes and pressure and pain inside the ears. (Also, for several hours after the procedure, if I leaned over to pick up something off the floor, I would get an intense pressure in the head and nose bleeds.) Is any of this normal? Did I cause damage by leaning over after the procedure? Symptoms aside, when is it ok to weight lift, be in the sun, or play non-contact sports? Thank you!
