hi..I've got a serious ENT problem for the
last 4 years. I am unable to breathe as my
nose always stays closed even though it is
dry without excess mucus. Also any nasal
sprays do not help or just help for 2-3
hours. As a result i feel extremely
suffocated. I also get a feeling of my
ears pushing out and that they are about
to burst. This has slightly affected my
hearing and i also tend to speak loudly to
be able to clearly hear myself! Throat
always stays bad and i have difficulty
speaking. I have been to various doctors
but unfortunately none of their
medications seem to be working. I
underwent an adenoids operation about 5
years ago and the problem has kept
worsening every year, more so this year. I
just don't know what to do as feeling
suffocated and unable to breathe is a very
tough situation to be in. Please help me..

How old are you?
Have you been tested for food allergies?

Suffocation Posted: 10-13-07 21:31pm
I have had the same problem of not being
able to get air though my nose.
I have had my nasal turinates surgically
reduced and for a while that helped but
for the last 2 or 3 years I have been
getting worse again. I went to my ENT a
few months ago and she said that the
internal nasal valves in my nose are to
small and also tend to collapse when I
inhale.
There is a surgical proceedure that can
open up those valves so I might give that
a try.
I use breath rite nasal strips that you
can buy at the drug store and they help
some a night time.
Unlike you I also produce a lot of mocous
which adds to my problem.
My chest hurts from trying to breath
through my nose do you have that too.
Please feel free to send as many messages
to me as you want, maybe we can figue out
how to solve our nasal problem.

Oh Thanks for your concern vtx1300 we both
know how important is the need to help
each other and share ideas in such
matters.
I was lucky enough to finally get to a
good ENT 2 weeks ago, he has informed me
that i primarily have two problems( as far
as he sees them!);
1. Tissues in my nasal cavity, behind my
ears and nose are inflamed and dominantly
blocking air flow to my body.
2. I also have a deviated septum which
restricts airflow too.
I have improved quite a bit in the last
few days and am using Neogastro antacid
chewable tablets that i think are similar
to those that you might be using. Apart
from that i have tonnes of tablets to be
taken for some time before i visit him
again shortly. How are you feeling right
now? And does this problem ever make u
feel mentrally incapable at times
especially when breathing is very
difficult?
Cheers

hi rohitpohani
Glad to hear your feeling better and that
the ENT has diagnosed your problem.
I'm doing a little better at the present
but I need to get my nose and acid reflux
problems corrected.
I went to my ENT last week and I am going
to have my nasal passages operated on in
December. This should hopefully make my
breathing more normal. I saw my
gastroenterologest today and am going to
get schdualed to have acid reflux surgury
to stop stomach acid from coming up into
my throat.
Yes when I can't breath normally thourgh
my nose it makes it hard to lead a normal
life both mentally and physically. Hope
all goes well for us both.
