A member asked:
Ent able to diagnose me with a nasal polyp and if so how long would it take? and can a nasal polyp cause sleep apnea and cause eye/forehead pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: on site, size and cause of the nasal polyp, sleep apnea isn't caused by nasal polyps, forehead/ eye pressure or headaches can be caused by nasal polyps if obstructing sinuses drainage causing pressure build-up, your ENT will recommend what suits you for treatment, often times surgery isn't needed, local treatment would suffice with treatment of the cause if polyps are due to allergies for example
