Q: Deviated Septum
asked by: Forum Girl on January 10th, 2004

About 8 or 9 months ago I was referred to an ear, nose and throat doctor because I was having problems with my tonsils. The doctor put a small camera up my nose to get a look at the back of my tonsils. He mentioned that I had a deviated septum and that it was probably something I was born with. I have always noticed that it is significantly easier to breathe out of one side of my nose than the other. Before the doctor had mentioned it, I had never thought twice about it. Recently, I have started yoga and have found it very difficult to continuously breathe out of my nose, especially when I am breathing hard after exertion. I am wondering how common this is and if someone has had this and had it corrected. I have begun to think about having it corrected myself and was curious if someone else has gone through it.

Hi

my husband had this same problem all his life and could not breathe most of the time. Our ent did surgery a year ago and my husband is doing great. Never has had a problem with breathing since the surgery. It was well worth it for him to have the surgery.

I had a friend have this surgery. It was the best thing in the world for him. It felt so much better and he said singing was a much better experience.
