    Non-surgical methods to manage deviated septum

    Related Topics

    I have recently visited an ENT specialist and was told that I have a deviated septum based on the CT scans, and surgery can help correct it. However, I’m worried about getting surgery and wanted to find out if there are any other methods of relief. The symptoms I’ve been experiencing include:

    -Difficulty breathing at times
    -Difficulty sleeping, more so falling asleep due to feeling dizzy. Once I am asleep I don’t wake up in the middle of the night.
    -Constant sensation of tension/dizziness in the forehead and eyes which gets considerably worse when I work, study or use my eyes intensely for any task.

    I’ve had allergies to dust mites pretty much my whole life which I can only guess has contributed to such issues with my nose.

    Is it possible the above symptoms are attributable to poor sleep which it seems is due to my deviated septum?
    Are there other ways (other than surgery) to tackle these issues/symptoms?
