Each breath that we take is a gift. However, it happens so frequently and automatically that many of us tend to take it for granted. Did you know that some people require surgery to be able to breathe effortlessly?
A Deviated Nasal Septum is one of the most common causes of breathing problems in the United States. The septum is the wall that separates the two nasal passages. If the septum is deviated to one side, it may impair the transport of air in and out of the nose. Most of the time, the deviation doesn’t cause any symptoms and require no intervention. However, in some cases, a Deviated Nasal Septum can cause nasal obstruction, obstructive sleep apnea, facial pain or nose bleeds.
