I've been having this really uncomfortable chest tightness and trouble with breathing. My cardiologist didn't find any heart issues, but I'm also dealing with this weird nasal stuffiness and a heavy feeling from the top of my nose towards the back of my head. On top of that, I feel like something's choking me in my throat, and there's a tightness in my neck. Plus, I get dizzy sometimes. What do you think could be going on? I'm kinda starting to worry.

View allI've been dealing with nasal polyps for two years now, mostly in my right nostril. Hot drinks seem to make it worse and I'm relying on otrivin spray for relief but want something more permanent. Surgery isn't an option right now - what else can I try to manage this?
Nasal sprays, steam inhalation, allergy control, and steroids can reduce polyp size—consider immunotherapy if chronic.

I've had a deviated septum and sinus blocks for almost two years now with constant colds and throat infections. I've been doing saline washes, warm compresses, and steam which help but my doctor recommended sinus drainage and correction surgery. I'm really nervous about surgery especially since I have two little kids and can't afford long recovery time. Will sticking to these home remedies clear the mucus completely or is there still a risk of infection? How long would recovery take if I do go for surgery could it be just a couple days or longer?
Given your long-standing deviated septum and sinus blocks, along with frequent colds and throat infections, it's important to seek professional medical advice. While saline washes can help manage symptoms, they may not address the underlying structural issues contributing to your problems. Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and personalized treatment plan, which may include surgical correction of the deviated septum or other procedures to address sinus blockages.

My doctor recommended sinus surgery costing around 30k but I'm wondering if laser treatment could be an option instead what's the average cost for that and would it work for my condition?
Laser sinus treatment, also known as Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction (RTR) or Laser Turbinate Reduction, can be a viable alternative to sinus surgery for some individuals, and the average cost can range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 40,000. While laser treatment may be effective for certain conditions, it's essential to discuss your specific case with your doctor to determine if it's appropriate and if it will address your particular sinus issues
