It is very frustrating process with these ENTs for me.
1. Yes, I can feel suffocated and out of breath using a mask. I have been using those blue disposable surgical masks with the elastic earloops for years. I would double up on them also to make it even thicker. For me, the heat and humidity of the mask is what I am looking for as it makes breathing a little easier, the heat and humidity seems to open the nasal airway, the turbinates will shrink a little with the humidity. It is only a solution to get through the day or night.
2. I had symptoms before the septoplasty. I had a deviated septum so that is what an ENT thought I should get the surgery for. He thought the deviated septum was causing the breathing symptoms and pain. It was not successful, it did not help my breathing. It did not seem to alter my breathing or pain significantly from prior to the surgery.
