Hi. So I had surgery about 5 months ago, turbinate reduction and septoplasty. My recovery was easy and quick. I breathe pretty well after about 2 weeks.

Anyway for about 2-3 months post op, I was on break and it was summer time. I didn't think about my nose or my breathing. But started to experience some ens-like symptoms. It was mostly the lack of air sensation, dryness, and burning. I would say ens6q was like around 8. The symptoms gradually improved after I stopped using aircon. I am convinced aircon is the culprit because every time Im around my symptoms just worsens. I was also in the middle of shifting and had to stay in the hotel that was fully air conditioned even when I turned off all vents and ac. Nevertheless, it made my symptoms worse. It's been 6 days since then, and I haven't seen any major improvements. I been suffering this symptoms for almost 2 months now. Some days were better and other days were worse. Additionally, I been a wreck mentally. Constant anxiety of having/developing ens and regrets. Would regularly breathe hard. Sleep is not as bad as the some people with ens reported. I don't generally have a problem staying asleep. But I would occasionally wake up 5-6 hours later. I usually slept 8-9 hours before.

My ens6q is like around 5. mostly lack of air sensation, a little dryness. I also noticed numbness when I press my nose. I would say my nose has also gotten more sensitive by irritants and smells as they make my symptoms worse. I check up on ents and they said my nose structures look fine. My CP-test is 20-25 seconds at most.

so the question is, is it likely I have ens? Can ens be caused by environmental factors such as air. conditioner in my case?

Hi, I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction on March 22nd 2026. Initially, when the stents came out, I breathe better, way better than before and I also slept better. For the first 3-4 months it has been like that way.

However, around late June, I felt my breathing was wrong. I couldn’t feel thr satisfying air flow. It got bad to the point I felt inflammation in my left nose. I figured it was the AC. So I turned it off. My symptoms felt better. But I still couldn’t feel the air flow right. It’s been like this for a month and half. Some days were better and other were bad days. Right now it’s probably one of those bad days. I’m not sure long will it take. My sleeping is worst too and I feel like everything is irritating my nose and setting me back again and again.

Has anyone experienced recovery like this?

I’m 4 months post operation and I had turbinate reduction and septoplasty. For the first 3 months, my breathing was perfectly fine. I felt some of those 4k breathing.

But about a month ago, I felt like my airflow wasn’t satisfying enough. I thought I had ens, as I do have a massive fear of ens, but I don’t display any symptoms like dryness, suffocation, and openness. Sometimes my symptoms do improve. Like I can feel the temperature. Other times it get worse. My ens6q is around 6.

I’m not sure what’s causing this. I figure it was the AC and, during the first week, I did felt improvements until I hit a couple setbacks. I’m not sure why my symptoms haven’t been improving since then. And I been sleeping without AC for about like 3 weeks now, sometimes sweating a lot. And I kinda wished my symptoms would just resolve.

So I live in a 3rd world country, and the grocery stores or the pharmacy don’t sell distilled water. The only shop that sells that are like from auto shop.

I live near sadder area, and wondering where to get distilled water from humidifier

So I did my surgery on March 2026. For the first 3 months I felt that the surgery was the success. I could breathe better tho. But my left gets usually blocked a lot.

Lately, about 3 weeks ago, I felt that my breath weren’t satisfying. I took ens6q and it’s about like 6-8. One thing I notice is that inhale much better in cooler temperatures.

I’m not sure if this part of normal healing? Especially for the last 3 months I felt perfectly fine. One thing I should let you know is that I have a huge medical anxiety. So perhaps my brain is thinking something that isn’t there? I’m not sure, but is it really nothing when I’m hyper focused on my breathing all the time?

I had it on march 2026. After the first week when I had by stents removed, I felt like I could 100% breathe. occasionally blocked by some crust but nothing really structural bothering it. However for the past few weeks, I developed this persistent congestion on my left nose. I also get occasional pain or inflammation on either one of my nose. Any help?

I can feel the airflow mostly when I’m inhaling, but when I exhale I barely feel any? I’m not sure if it was always, but it’s really bothering me rn. I had turbinate reduce and septoplasty 5 months ago.

When Annie and Eren were fighting in Trost. Nile was threatening to kill Erwin. Erwin was like “fine kill me. But you gotta take command”. Then he starts explaining the chain of command and shit and Nile just spare him after that. I know he spared him because he was persuaded that Erwin believed this was the right way. But lowkey I feel he just spare cuz he didn’t want to deal with this shit lol.

I don’t think anyone realise how bless we are to live without complications. I was watching a video where a girl had constant pain. I think it was fibromyalgia or something. Honestly, I don’t know if I would have the will to live if I had that.

Willing help you back if you need any covenant items.
