HAS ANYONE HAD SEPTOPLASTY OR TURBINATE SURGERY FOR HEADACHES?

If you have ever had any type of nasal surgery for headaches which were suspected to be caused by a nasal issue such as deviated septum or enlarged turbinates, I would like to hear your story.   Please describe your headache, other symptoms, and the type of surgery and whether or not your headaches were helped.

Hi, My daughter (20) complains of many headaches and fullness around the eyes and sometimes it appears dark under the eyes. It makes her feel like not doing work or sport. She has been to a couple of ENT specialists and is booked in for an operation next month to fix a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. We are hoping this will help this problem.
Do you experience these type of symptoms? Are you thinking of having an operation?
