Damn, I got goaded into this to "fix" my sleep apnea. Didn't really fix it, I still needed a cpap. I can breathe out my nose now, but it's always felt wrong.

Damn, I got goaded into this to "fix" my sleep apnea. Didn't really fix it, I still needed a cpap. I can breathe out my nose now, but it's always felt wrong. And my sense of smell sucks.
- nitrogen 5y agoJust to provide a counterpoint, so people aren't completely scared from the idea of turbinate reductions or septoplasty, my breathing felt amazing right after I had mine in my early 20s. Huge improvement, and I could still smell well enough to detect that a magician was using real wine on stage for a trick while seated in the front row 30 feet away.
- diob 5y agoI still would do some sort of septoplasty, before that I couldn't breathe out my nose at all. Now I use nasal pillows for my cpap, so it was mostly worth it in the end.
- dannyw 5y agoSecond counterpoint. Incredible improvement in quality of life after turbinate reduction surgery. Air felt a little cold for a couople months, but completely normal now. Prior symptoms: very difficult to breath through the nose at night, so had to mouthbreathe.
