Do you suffer from a chronic runny nose, postnasal drip, facial pain, headaches, persistent stuffiness, pressure over your forehead and face. These are symptoms of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. 

Anyone can be affected by nasal polyps. In fact, they are very common, affecting about 30 percent of Americans. These soft, noncancerous growths, typically in the shape of a grape or a teardrop, are found in the lining of the sinuses or nasal passages. 

Do you have nasal polyps?  Here are a few common symptoms:

Have a difficult time breathing through the nose

Headaches

Persistent stuffiness 

Constant runny nose

Postnasal drip

Facial pain or pressure

Chronic sinus infections

Little to no sense of smell

Loss of sense of taste

Sleep apnea 

Snoring 

What causes nasal polyps? 

“Scientists don’t yet fully understand what causes nasal polyps, why some people develop long-term inflammation, or why irritation and swelling (inflammation) triggers polyps to form in some people and not in others. The swelling occurs in the fluid-producing lining (mucous membrane) of your nose and sinuses.” Mayo Clinic

If you’re anything like me, and have tried just about every over the counter medication looking for relief from my symptoms. But they just kept coming back. That’s when a friend told me about Orlando Ear, Nose & Throat.

With an exam, diagnosis, and treatment, I am breathing easy and pain free! Not only did I find relief, I found out there was a more permanent solution.

If you have any questions or concerns, I encourage you to contact Orlando Ears, Nose & Throat

October is breast cancer awareness month

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the family at Orlando Ears, Nose & Throat encourages everyone to join us in learning more about breast cancer and support those who are suffering with the disease.

Though we have made great progress in early detection, cancer treatment and finding a cure, we still have a long way to go.
