A member asked:

I had undergone fess and septoplasty on 19th sept. but still i have sometimes slight head heaviness as it used to be earlier.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask your ENT: If it has been a while ( over 1-2 weeks) and you are getting little or no relief, you need to see the doc that performed the FESS in the original procedure to decide next steps...
