Hi @jimhd, I also have a deviated septum and have issues with my right nostril always being plugged up and hard to breathe. My sleep doctor told me it wouldn't fix my obstructive sleep apnea but I'm thinking I might have it fixed anyway for the reason you mentioned about breathing being so much better. Psst...how old were you went you had the septoplasty? I'm 76 and wondering if I'll have any issues with the surgery.

@johnbishop I had the surgery in April, '98. I was 47. It was a brief outpatient procedure. It was weird - I could feel the doctor using a hammer and chisel.
I slept on my left side and arranged my arms and hands so I put pressure on my right cheek, to open up my airway. Now I sleep on my right side.
