Blocked Breath on Exhale

Posted by amaryllis on December 05, 2006 at 08:29:56:

I've only found one other posting on this problem. Has anyone else had this problem? Mine is much worse after surgery (LUAP). My Dr. suspects swelling, but I had it before when I blow my nose vs exhale. I don't think he ever identified the cause because I was struggling with a divated septum and enlarged turbinates. I never noticed until after the septum surgery, because I always blow out only one side of my nose, but after surgery the dr. asked me to blow out both sides simultaneously. What really sucks is whenever I've had a sleeep study I had a "good" night and then never identified any issues. But, I have lots of bad nights mixed in with good nights.
