Sometimes im able to breath from from one side of my nose and sometimes im able to breathe from the other side so im not sure if i have a deviated septum
The chances are you might have a deviated septum. One side will be almost blocked by septum and the other side will have excess muscle growth due to more space that will eventually block the air flow.
In my case I am fatigued often and I believe its due to the brain not getting enough oxygen. I struggle to breath normally throughout the day, I have been using sudafed decongestion spray like an inhaler. I wouldn't put it past causing your migranes also. Good luck getting it sorted.
@@Odin-z1q did u get it sorted via surgery or continued medication. Hope to consider deviation correction. If you ever considered, I appreciate some options. GL with ur treatments and relief also.
hi dr, i have a question for you if you don't mind. in your opinion, in regards to nasal congestion, what do you think is a bigger contributor, the nasal septum deviation or the turbinates? thank you
This will certainly depend. If your congestion is related to medical issues such as nasal allergies, the turbinates are likely the bigger contributor. If you have associated sneezing, watery eyes, itchiness, and congestion, the turbinates likely play a big role in your inability to breathe. Also, if your congestion alternates from side to side, then it's also likely related to turbinate hypertrophy. If you have an absence of other symptoms, in addition to a fixed nature of the obstruction, you may have a deviated septum. In reality, septal deviations and turbinate hypertrophy often coexist. It is important to be fully evaluated by a specialist to rule out other causes of nasal airway obstruction. You can contact us here: www.mouradnyc.com/contact/
I need this surgery after 20 years of suffering 😢 my nose is always dry and stuffy. I have headaches everyday and I have sleep apnea . Does this cause headaches? I am so scared of the surgery 😢
I feel ya pain, sleep been tryna kill me for a few yrs now and my GP isn't helping. Good luck to you. I miss the days of breathing normally. Many yrs of boxing and getting punched in the nose has caused a deviated septum in my case. Damn I didn't realise its been over a decade like this.
Doctor a question. An otorronolaryngologist offered to give me a direct injection into the nasal turbinates to reduce inflammation, I would like to know how safe this dose is, if it has promising results or if it has adverse effects, thank you
My nasal septum was devaited this February this year accidentally hit my nose it's hard to breathe until now what can I do ..pls help give me an advice..
Return to exercise and weight lifting will vary depending on the extent of surgery performed. For complex caudal septal deviations, requiring rib grafting or extracorporeal/anterior septal reconstruction, the minimum recommended time off is 3 weeks from exercise. At 3-6 weeks, I advocate for low to no impact activity, such as an elliptical, stationary bike, or rowing machine. Light weights can be considered during this time. At 6 weeks, normal activity can resume.
l want to ask question dr l have chronic heyperthrophic rhinitis and ellergy l went many ent specialist and the doctors can tell me same word you didn't want any surgery you didnt have turbinate heyperthrophy and me l feel alot of pressure my nose congestion ,bad breath 🥺
Hello Doctor, it's been a year today since I received several punches on the nose which caused me a broken nose. Today my nasal obstruction changes from one nostril to another. According to you doctor, should I have a septoplasty, while knowing that the obstruction is not fixed to a single nostril but that it changes sides Thank you for your reply
Hi doctor have you done a septal perforation repair and lysis of synechia? Last year, I had a septoplasty surgery. Due to that now I have 5mm hole. I feel at times I cannot breathe.
Yes. Synechia refers to a band of tissue/scar that forms in the nose after a procedure or trauma. This is frequently removed (or "lysed"), during procedures of the nose and sinuses (as in a septal perforation repair). You can book a consultation going to my website here: www.nycfacedoc.com/
please answer me, as i know from my childhood doctor told me that I have deviated septum , but can Deviated Septum cause allergy too? my nose is almost always wet, doesn't matter which season we have, especially I can not breath one side of my nose.
This will depend on the nature of your breathing problems. It is important to undergo a comprehensive evaluation with nasal endoscopy to understand the reasons for the nasal airway problems you may be experiencing.
Yes, revision septoplasty is one of the most common procedures I perform. It is first important to understand the nature of why the first operation failed. Many times it can be due to re-deviation of the nasal septum. Other times it can be because of mismanagement/misdiagnosis of the nasal septal deviation. When undergoing a revision septoplasty, you should fully understand why the initial operation failed, and how to ensure it does not happen again.
Persistent breathing problems after a septoplasty may be related to a number of issues. Common causes include re-deviation of the septum, medical related causes to nasal airway obstruction (e.g. allergies), scar tissue, sinus related problems, or other causes to nasal airway obstruction. It is important to speak with your surgeon and be thoroughly re-evaluated.
Hi! Septoplasty refers to reshaping or modifying the structure of the septum. The septum is a cartilage that forms a partition between the left and right nostrils. The vast majority of septoplasties performed should not and will not alter the appearance of the nose externally. However, if the deflection of the septum is severe, that it causes an external deformity, then corrective surgery likely will alter the appearance, usually for the better. For example, a "saddle nose" deformity refers to a collapsed septum. This usually gives the nose an "indented" or "pushed in" appearance, particularly in the nasal bridges. Correcting the septal collapse and deviation should make the nose look stronger, and less collapsed. Other times septal deflections can be so severe that it can push the tip to one side giving the nose a twisted appearance. Septoplasty should give the nose a more straight and midline appearance. In the most simplest of terms, septoplasty surgery should not alter the shape of the nose, unless there is severe structural compromise to the septum and external nose. In the latter cases, the nose appearance could change, and typically for the better.
Post nasal drip can occur for many reasons. It can be related to medical issues such as nasal allergies (irritants from the environment) that lead to increase in mucous secretions. Deviated septums may exacerbate or make worse post nasal drip. Other causes of post nasal drip may be excess adenoid tissue, nasal polyps, medications (including nasal sprays and antihypertensive medications), infections, pregnancy, exercise, senior age, and neurological issues. It is important to have a thorough evaluation with your specialist.
@@nycfacedoc thx doctor u said right ,I have right side diviated sptum with spur, last Sunday I had septoplasty surgery, but very throat pain , post nasal heavy ,water from eye ,head ache,
Hi! I am also about to undergo a septoplasty, so my question is if the surgery will also correct the outside of the nose? Mine is tilted a lot to my left so I can not breathe through my right nostril. Will the septoplasty also straighten the nose? Not in the profile area, but like making it more in center of the face? Sincerely a 16 year old
A deviated septum can certainly make the nose deviated. However, a septoplasy alone, likely will not make the nose entirely straight on its own. Commonly, people require an "open septo-rhinoplasty" approach in order to fully correct a crooked nose. I advise you discuss your particular needs with your surgeon, and understand the likely goals and outcomes.
Hi doctor I have cosmetic problem and septum deviated My doctor fix my deviated septum but they were not fix my cosmetic problem I have still problem in brething can you tell me reason please

From what I read from the book “Breath” by James Nestor, every certain amount of hours we actually switch between which nostril we breath out of.
@@dilipmr2503 hi does this need to be surgically realigned to fix issue?
I had it in December . Just woke up with both sides of my nose open:))
I had it last year and today put pressure on my nose from one side and suddenly the other side started working

Most likely because of the sinuses becoming congested
