Septoplasty+ Conchaplasty
Hi,
I was suffering from loud snoring and my one nostril was blocked due to which i used to breathe from mouth while sleeping leading to dry mouth/throat issues.
Doc had suggested me septoplasty and I had recently undergone septoplasty as well as Conchaplasty as CT showed right concha bullosa on 10th march
Could you please give me further advice on how I get rid of snoring as this is affecting my personal life. Currently my weight is 80kgs and height is about 170cms.
Thank you!

You might be having obstructive sleep apnoea
A very laxed soft palate or elongated uvula can be the ones causing your snoring issue
The best thing would be to go for lifestyle modifications and lose some weight which generally makes snoring quite less
Please consult for further management

Have you got your polysomnography done prior to surgery to look for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring and Drug induced sleep endoscopy to look for level of Obstruction?

Since u just had a septoplasty with choncoplasty on 10th, see for a week/ 2 weeks if your snoring is getting relieved, if the obstruction was due to a deviated nasal septum, surgery should have solved it.
Next Steps
Give an update after 2 weeks. Then consult online and we can talk about it further
