Hello Ricc

Would like to know if you have done any checks whether you have sleep apnea and deviated septum?

I have the above 2 symptoms and what happened is I often have one congested/stuff nostril and post nasal drips (no running nose), I would always wake up feeling tired and both nose would likely be blocked but one much worse than the other.

I have mild anxiety since young and now in my mid 30s so I wonder if there was any co-relations, I think till date there was insufficient medical data to ascertain this fact...

I have been using the decongestant like nasal sprays for some years but not really improving a lot, I still wake up every morning feeling tired even if I have 8 hrs of sleep.

Done a minor op to shrink the turbinates and removed my tonsil to prevent snoring many years back, the snoring reduces but the rest remains and even the blocked nose worsen.

I am thinking of going for a septoplasty surgery to correct this deviated septum condition and hope my breathing will improve over time and improve my overall well being.

Have you done any surgery thus far?

best regards
Sager
