I had a nose injury last year, and combined with my allergies to paint and mold which I was exposed to, my nose would close up making it difficult to breath and I would have panic attacks . I had never had panic attacks before this and haven't had them since the swelling and exposure to the allergens had gone.
Thank you very much for your assistance. I will take your advice and let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
Your description suggests 3 problems: allergies, chronic nasal and sinus disease and panic attacks.
Before agreeing to nasal surgery, the indication for which is not clear, you should await the CT scan. Then seek a second ENT opinion from a person unaffiliated with the first ENT. Your rhinitis, also called nasal inflammation, may be on an allergic basis. If so, medicine and environmental control should relieve it, with allergy shots and nasal surgery likely to be unnecessary. The CT scan will shed light on what might constitute effective therapy for your sinus disease.
Finally, chronic anxiety with panic disorder is a common problem. This frequently causes a person to experience other physical illness and makes a person’s response to treatment for the physical illness less effective than it would be otherwise. Panic is a very treatable condition. Pharmacotherapy is very effective and you should not have to go through life, handicapped by recurrent panic attacks. When your health coverage is activated in July, you should arrange to see a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist.
Good luck.
