Has anyone undergone a sinus surgery with balloon sinuplasty? Is it effective?

With Balloon Sinuplasty, there is no cutting of nasal bone or tissue. With Balloon Sinuplasty, ENT doctors open inflamed sinuses in the same way that heart surgeons open up blocked arteries during balloon angioplasty. The procedure is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery, and effective at relieving symptoms of chronic sinusitis. Balloon Sinuplasty allows patients to return to normal activities quickly. Unlike conventional sinus surgery, it does not include removal of bone or tissue from the nose. And, Balloon Sinuplasty is now offered by some doctors in their office under local anesthesia, so that there is no need to go to an operating room or undergo general anesthesia.

While recovery time varies with each patient, recovery is typically fast. In a study of in-office balloon dilation, most patients returned to work and normal activity within 2 days.

However, even I am suffering the same since childhood, though in my case it is just moderate.

Again, in my experience, I have also seen patients find no relief in Sinoplasty but still its far better and you get immediate relief to a major extent in most cases.

See its like this there are chances you will get completely cured or in case the symptoms might return as well.

Its just sometimes you are body is susceptible to DNS.

However, on a serious note for the solution the best person to get cured is you yourself. Yes, don’t stop till you find the solution but again be calm and confident and don’t get frustrated.

This is my experience. Now I am just doing Neti Poti or Nasya (Nasya is easiest of all)I am fine but I have to do it religiously without missing. After doing Neti Pot or Nasya just kneel down.

Just bow down on the ground (like namaz posture). Move to the kneeling position. Prostrate and touch your head to the floor with your palms, forehead, nose, knees, and toes only on the floor.

And keep your forehead on a solid surface (not a bed or pillow), If possible keep your forehead on the hard surface or floor and wait for the feel of your blood slightly pushing downwards and feeling the heat on the forehead. Dont breathe hard. For a few seconds relax and let the air enter deep inside your head, you will feel the block. Slowly breathe SMOOTHLY in such a way that when you breathe out the water should come out and when you breathe in the water does not further go back into your nose or head. It should be like, build enough pressure in the nostrils and when you breathe out the water should come out. Your focus should be on the stomach expanding and contracting. Do not focus on your head or nose, water will enter back into your nose.

In short, the position itself is enough to REMOVE ALL THE WATER. Just BOW DOWN with your knees on a flat and hard surface on the floor. Feel the heat or flow down sensation on your forehead (which is on the floor) and breathe normally (like you breathe in sleep without any efforts) without any force. Surely water will come out.

You can tilt your sideways and do also.

Off late i also found something called Salt room therapy. While relaxing in one of treatment rooms, customers inhale the dry, salt-enriched air deep down into the lungs, where the healing benefits do their greatest healing. The salt loosens the mucus, which begins to clear quickly, and inflammation is reduced, which makes more room in the airways for you to breathe. Symptoms subside, sometimes for up to 12 months.

Dry salt air is more powerful than moist air. The negatively charged ions in salt improve our health and mood. Inhaling particles may reduce inflammation and mucus in the lungs, improving most respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinus congestion and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

See if you have it nearby or see if you can customize, like use a nebulizer at home. BUT MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO PREPARE THE RIGHT SALT WATER OR SALINE SOLUTION. PLUS ENSURE ITS HYGENIC AND YOU HAVE CONSULTED A DOCTOR WHILE CUSTOMIZING YOUR SALT ROOM THERAPY USING A NEBULIZER AT HOME.

In all spend few minutes in a day and you will be fine.

As i said, my solutions might work or not work. But be cool, calm, be reasonable and keep finding the solution. You will find some solution suited to you, but just be careful about what solution you are doing. If possible consult and then proceed, be it natural or medical etc.
