curious to hear what the outcomes were for you on deviated septum? I got a CPAP machine which helps a lot with night sleep but then realize that even during the day I'm congested so I'm not optimally breathing.
the other suggestion from the ENT doctor was that I removed both my tonsils and get my uvula chopped off. so I'm deciding between the septum operation and/or tonsil operation
- LanceH 4y agoGetting my nose fixed after 25 years made me wish I had it fixed 24.5 years before. There is no question about it for me that it is one of the best things I've ever done. All the sinus and ear infections I got because my nose couldn't drain are behind me now. Also had my turbinates reduced at the same time.
- Glench 4y agoAfter the deviated septum and turbinate (?) reduction surgery my breath improved noticeably, my sleep got better, my headaches were significantly reduced, and anecdotally I felt a lot less anxious. The ENT doctor told me "things were pretty deranged back there" after the surgery so it makes sense this would help. That said, I still do the neti pot every day since I wouldn't say my breathing is "completely" clear.
