It was only a 25 minute procedure. I recommend you get a sleep study to rule it out. Many people have it and never find out. You'd be amazed at how much more energy you have when you get good sleep.

Anyway, it sounds like you definitely have at least a deviated septum. Just get it fixed. It's so easy and it's worth it.
That's very interesting Danny. I've had nose surgery 4 years ago to give me more air through my nose. It did improve but now 4 years later it feels like is got a little bit less. (I'm not sure if my surgery was called deviated septum, english is not my native language)

How can I find out if I have apnea? I have been wondering about this as I often do not feel rested when waking up.
