A member asked:
Seen ent for frequent headaches, she said it's deviated septum and i need a surgery because lake of oxygen, what if i wait longer could it pose risks?

Yes.: Lack of oxygen is a risk. If it becomes chronic, you can develop serious problems without realizing, because the symptoms appear gradually. If you have any doubts, get a second opinion.
