Deviated septum..Advice please
Long story short, I have always had a mild cough, stuffy nose on left side, and sinus infections 2-3 per year.. Finally saw a specialist and he said I have a deviated septum(did a CT scan) He said my left side is almost 100% blocked, therefore I dont breath through my left nostril....
He recommends surgery to correct it..
I am not really thrilled about the idea, but my endurance is not the best.. I recently began running at the local HS track, and I am suprised how bad it is compared to being in the gym on a crosstrainer, bike etc..
MAIN CONCERN---
For those that know about dev. septums-- Could it be causing me to have less endurance and energy? I really want to increase my running endurance on the track
Also how was the surgery, mainly the recover period..How long before you could do cardio and lift weights?
Thanks for the help
