A member asked:
Septoplasty 6 weeks ago, went skydiving 24hrs ago. since landing, i have had a lingering but minimal sinus headache. immediate need for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If this is from air being trapped either from the residual inflammation from the surgery or from nasal mucosal swelling (often allergic), then I would expect the problem to resolve within 2 days. If persistent or worsening , see doctor.
