Have you heard of this? It happens when you have your turbinates reduced on both sides. Usually people who have a deviated septum and blocked nose end up getting this if no other treatment works. ENT/ Eye and Ear Nose and Throat surgeons remove some of the bone in your nose called turbinates so they can use their fancy new machines.

The result is that your nose goes dry, shallow breathing, nasal valve collapse, reflux, ear popping, insomnia, pain in the nose in the cold, nerve pain and damage, dry eyes athrophy of remaining turbinates, your nose narrows and your smile mussles are damaged, anxiety depression. And this is so you can breath better. Problem is you have to do one to become a ENT doctor so they need the practice and pick on public patients because, the consultant has to do private work for insurance.

They dont even tell you the risks, there is some rogue doctors out there.
