I have a deviated septum and a dust mite allergy. Immunotherapy lasts multiple years while the surgery is a one time thing.

"A deviated septum is a condition in which the nasal septum (the bone and cartilage that divide the nose in half) is crooked, making one nasal passage smaller. If severe, breathing through the nose can be difficult. Most people naturally have some deviation — only people with severe deviations need treatment."

"In one study of people with dust mite allergies, more than 70% of adults and 65% of kids said they had consulted a physician about their sleep challenges. Their most common sleep issues included overall poor sleep quality, snoring, nocturnal awakenings, and difficulties falling asleep."

I HAVE MADE A DECISION

Have you tried nasal dilators and nasal strips? Some people report large improvements with each of them.

@Adam ive never heard of these lol. i should try

@jojomonsta7777 the nasal strips have more science behind them. Anecdotally the nasal dilators had a significant positive impact for myself and another rationalist I trust to report their subjective experience accurately, but have less science.

@Adam both are cheap interventions; the nasal dilators (get the soft silicone type) are reusable, the strips are disposable, but the strips are like $8 for 60 or whatever and a set of the dilators is about the same.

Have you gone to a doctor yet about this? Did you discuss both options with them and was there one they recommended for you?

@DavidChee i remember different doctors last year telling me that they don't think either option is necessary, but i dont remember why.
