What kind of doctor do you recommend that see for my breathing problem?

I don't think I ever mentioned my breathing problem to my GI doctors and dieticians. As far as my GI issues, they made some diet suggestions. The doctors have had me try a number of medications, mostly for reflux, and some supplements.

I didn't drink milk for years because it doesn't agree with me. That didn't help my breathing.

I really can’t make that recommendation for you.

You’ve seen what sounds like 3 ENTs. They have all given you their objective opinion, which sounds like all 3 were different.

True breathing issues-meaning you can not get air in and out of your nose- is different than dryness. Breathing sensations are all subjective.

So when you return to your ENT or new ENT for a 4th opinion, I only recommend you be very assertive and clear on your exact subjective feelings.
And ask questions when given an elective surgical option.

Earlier you stated you don’t think you have a structural issue. Turbinectomies and a Vivaer procedure is addressing structural issues.

You have to really have an understanding of all of this, by the time you get to the level of an ENT visit.
