Hello doctor! I am 34 years old this year, I often have trouble sleeping because of a blocked nose and difficulty breathing. Previously, I had an injury to my nose and needed stitches. I read the article and found it very suspicious that I had a crooked nasal septum. I don't know if I have it because when I went to the ENT endoscopy, I didn't see the doctor at the hospital saying it was crooked, only diagnosed as pharyngitis, rhinitis. I took the medicine prescribed by the doctor but it didn't help but the symptoms of shortness of breath increased, especially when lying down, it became more difficult to breathe, getting up and walking made it easier to breathe. I have been like this for 10 years now, I am very sad and lose faith, I always have to take sedatives to sleep at night. I hope you can give me some advice, thank you doctor.
