Last summer I got a real bad sinus infection I seen my family Dr several times for it and he tried many antibiotics after like 4 months of trying to get rid of it he sent me to a ENT. Well I had polyps trapping the infection I'm my sinus cavity and a deviated septum. I had surgery to have them removed and infection drained and spetim straightened. During this whole time before and after the surgery 5 out of 7 days I wake up feeling full blown out of it and drained. I can't work, most days I won't drive. Then every once in a while il have a great day like normal. So I tell my ent this is still happening after the surgery and he sends me for a sleep study. I stopped breathing 7 times, during the study diagnosing me with mild apnea. He said it's so mild it doesn't really need treated. However I did have a total of 131 arousals. 38 respitory, 13 limb, 7 snoring, 73 spontanious. I went back to to the sleep center to get a mask and I couldnt fall asleep, so they told me to get a dental appliance, however that's 1500$ and I can't really afford it. I want to try it but I can't just blow 1500$ and it doesn't work. My ENT doesn't seem to be much help after I had the surgery people asked who my DR was and everyone said nothing but horrible things about him. I'm not really sure what I should do, maybe sell some stuff amd try to get the dental appliance. For all I know my septum could still be messed up, now when I suck air in with my nose real fast the one nostril collapses weird. Anyone have any suggestions, cause I'm losing my mind feeling like this every day.
