Trouble Breathing Through Nose

[BakemonoRicer]

Over the past few years....

I have had difficulty breathing through my nose and of recent its becoming much worse. Anyone else had similar experiences? It's actually beginning to have a negative affect on my gym training.

I believe this is being caused by Nose polyps but cant remember what a specialist said years ago, I remember I was prescribed nasal sprays and that didn't work particularly well.

It seems the only option is to get surgery to fix the problem, but of course there are risks associated with it it seems (after doing some reading on the internet) Has anyone had surgery to correct the difficulties breathing through their nose ? Detail your experiences please if possible...

Going to see the GP when I have time, will keep this thread updated.

Cheers.

Skip the GP; go to an ENT specialist for an endoscopy...though you may need a GP referral for one. GP will tell you it's polyps or something with a glance up your nose; ENT will shove a camera up there and find out what's actually doing it.

Could be polyps...you may need a submucosal resection to open up some space up there. Could be anything.

Ah I see, yeah only reason I was going to see a GP was for means of a referral.

An SAU member has PM'ed me regarding the success of an operation he had...so I've asked about the details of the specialist he went and saw.

I read up on polyps a while back. General consensus is that operations to remove them are only a short term cure as many people have them develop again.

Have you tried a nasal spray called Omnaris?

Is it both nostrils or just one?
