I have a crooked nasal divider (deviated septum) on my right side, nasal allergies, a blocked nose, and shortness of breath; since my lung function test shows blocked airways and mild lung restriction, and I am currently using Avamys spray and Montair FX, do I need surgery to fix my crooked nasal divider, and is my shortness of breath being caused by my nose or my chest?
Your shortness of breath is likely a combination of both your chest and your nose. Your lung test showing blocked airways suggests a chest issue, like asthma, while your deviated septum and allergies cause the nasal blockage. Your medications, Avamys and Montair FX, are excellent for managing these symptoms. You may not need surgery immediately; the priority is stabilizing your lung function first. I highly recommend discussing your lung test with a pulmonologist and visiting an ENT specialist to evaluate if correcting your septum is necessary.
