nasal congestion

Number four, Luke, what's your fourth most common referral? Number four most

common is nasal obstruction in adults.

Ah.

Chronic blocked noses.

And I'm like, oh my word.

Okay, we can fix your nose for that.

patients who have just got chronically blocked noses and they mouth breathe when they eat and they don't like being mouth breathers so the other patient grouping that we see a lot of is those who have got sleep trouble so they're another group of patients but they're snorers or people with obstructive sleep apnea and adults so nasal obstruction in them is either about a journey to improve their sleep overall, a journey being that, okay, each intervention will have an outcome for their sleep.

And then once we get their sleep to a point, which is good, we stop the interventions or it's a process to get them to tolerate CPAP.

What are sinus headaches?

We see a lot of patients who will have frequent episodes where they feel Congestion, which is unfortunately a vague term, they might feel pressure more than nasal blockage.

They might have pain that they feel in their face.

They might even have more nasal drainage or they feel like they can't breathe through their nose.
