Deviated septum turbinate reduction

Posted by 62scrapiron @62scrapiron, 3 days ago

Newbie here. 62 male had above 3/25. 6-8 week follow all looked good. 4-6 weeks pass still heavily congested. 2nd opinion Dr did bilateral cottle maneuver felt free. 30 min surgery scheduled 7/31 out of pocket $6k. Can't afford. Severe sleep apnea, open mouth breather, full face mask(4-5 years now). No issues w cpap but I'm constantly fatigued. Blood work good, thyroid good etc etc etc. and my ears are always closed. When is sneeze or blow nose takes 10-15 sec to pop open. I read about that sinus machine $70?? I take allergy 24 hr daily. I'm now a constant mouth breather too. Anybody has any ideas, avenues, thoughts etc sure would appreciate it. Tom
