It takes a long time for swelling to go down after septoplasty. If the ent told you it would solve the apnea, then he should have done more research. All research I found was a good chance to IMPROVE my apnea. I had it in September 12 with great results on my breathing. Both sides have air flow. Suc...

NONE of you have explained to me how a handgun would fare versus an AK-47. It would not have stopped Columbine or Virginia Tech tragedies. A sign at the Marine Corps Scout Sniper School, Quantico reads " The average rounds expended per kill with the M-16 in Vietnam was 50,000. Sniper averaged 1.3 r...

If you have a question find a trusted ENT and ask. Mine was confident and straight forward. All of my questions were answered no m...

I had septoplasty, turbinectomy and a bone spur removed in September. It was the best thing I ever did. I am 28 and do not ever remember breathing through my nose. I had 10 days of pain, Maybe a good 4 out of 10. I asked the ENT that same question. He said it would take a long a long time for it to ...

I just got home from my titration, my pressure is an 8. I also picked up my PEG from two weeks ago. My AHI was 90 with one OA event lasting 77 sec. I was told I responded well to cpap.
