Nasal Polyps
in Health ·
God. Dealing with nasal polyps too...
Been struggling for ages (maybe 7 or 8 years), constant congestion, heavy breathing, lost my sense of smell and everything. I just ignored the pain, but lately, it’s been getting worse—headaches, eye pain—so I finally had to see a doctor. Turns out it's polyps. Didn't even realize it before; thought it was just sinus issues. Even my GP thought so, which is why nothing changed for years...
Found out recently and honestly, it freaked me out quite a bit...
Searching online, there's everything... surgeries, meds, home remedies. I even saw some forum mention someone in Mexico selling herbal teas legally...
Now, I've read that surgery can be super effective (sometimes, at least for a while) but also pretty risky since the optic nerve is right there in the nasal cavity. It's a sketchy situation...
There are people on this Discussion Group who have already gone through surgery, so maybe let me know if your doctor explained the risks... other than that, I don't know what else to say. Just really nervous..
Sorry if my English is a bit off, I'm not American, so please bear with me. Just wanted to share my thoughts with you all...
Thanks in advance for reading my post.
