What to do if i have nasal turbinates and can't breathe while eating cam i die from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: While large or congested turbinates may lead to nasal obstruction, you cannot die from this. You can still breathe through your mouth while eating. There are procedures to improve the nasal airway or reduce turbinate size. See your local ENT
