Is this Asthma or Something else?

Hi Rick,

Do you have allergies? I have multiple chemical sensitivity, might you have that? I don't do well around perfume either.

I was diagnosed with allergic asthma years ago but inhalers never have helped me, they just make me jittery. I was told by a holistic doctor to stay away from dairy products because they produce excess phlegm. Conventional doctors will also say to stay away from dairy products when you have a cold.

Maybe you're experiencing some food sensitivities and you're having a reaction. We need to be our own best detectives sometimes.

Concerning the Turbinate Hypertrophy, is that like a deviated septum? If so, I had surgery done on my deviated septum and afterwards I felt like I was put on oxygen, i could breathe through my nose so much better.

Good luck to you.

Hi Rick,

The surgery for me was a very easy process.

Hi Rick,

It felt as if I couldn't breathe very well through my nose. For years I thought it was just difficult for me to breathe well through my nose. I had no idea what a deviated septum was.

Immediately following waking up after the surgery, I recall telling the nurse that I felt as if I was put on oxygen. I don't recall any after effects or pain from the surgery.
