2 septoplasties and both made my nose worse - Detroit, MI

I had 2 septoplasties that were done by different surgeries. The first time I did it (July 2011) and had those tubes from the nose removed, I took a deep breath and said wow... this is what it feels like to be able to breathe normally? I was extremely happy and relieved. 2 days later I realized my breathing got worse and the surgery had failed. Then again in 2014 I did the same surgery with another physician. Same thing, when I first took out those tubes a few weeks after I was breathing just fine but then my breathing became worse. Now my breathing CANNOT EVEN BE CALLED BREATHING. I always feel suffocated. I have sleep apnea and I get the worst sleeps ever. I'm always tired and it's hard for me to concentrate. I'm in pharmacy school working to get my PharmD and become a pharmacist and so my breathing problems make it even more difficult. I can never have a pleasant work out as I never have the energy and I am truly depressed. I cannot even use a CPAP machine because the facemask makes it so much harder to breathe. I've hit a brick wall; reached a dead-end. I don't know what to do anymore. This is really hard and I've been struggling with this ever since I was 13 and I am now 22 years old. I don't want to spend the rest of my life gasping for air and feeling suffocated. I wish someone could help me but I heard the more surgeries you do the higher the chance of getting septal perforation.
