@rachaelmw72-

You’re welcome.

I have been through an ENT procedure. Was 100% healthy before my experience.

I have had to learn many things after my experience and if I see someone mention something that I know to be a common side effect that is not throughly explained or often ignored/downplayed, is when try to help.

There is another site called RealSelf. It is sponsored by Plastic Surgeons and they are the ones whom actually respond to the patients questions. So it is not a forum where strangers chime in. It only patient/provider Q&A.

There are many people who share this same complaint on that site. Some providers respond w/ follow up with your original surgeon, others provide with honest opinions and possible things that would help.

What I share is from the ENTs I have spoken with first hand or clinical research. ENTs know very very little about airflow and all of the mechanics around it. Breathing is a subjective experience. It is very hard to explain to a surgeon sensations, when airflow and the sensation of airflow is invisible.

I work in the medical field so I have access to different types of knowledge and my understanding and perception is probably different than most.

Stay positive and really look for adaptations and ways to calm to hyper awareness and sensitivity.
