Dr. Robert Stachler answered

ENT and Head and Neck Surgery 31 years experience

Septoplasty: Do the surgery. It will help your breathing and the sleep apnea as you will breathe better, and if you have cpap, you will tolerate it much better. All of my patients use their cpap on the first post op day as I do not pack the nose after surgery unless you are bleeding. Good luck and feel better!

My parents got the vaccine two weeks ago, and I'm only 28. However, I do have daily asthma symptoms (never life threatening attacks) and moderate sleep apnea. If I got the virus at a large indoor gathering in March, how sick do you think I'd get?
