Is The Sinus And Sleep Apnea Caused By Broken Nose?
While on active duty i had quite a few URI treated w/cold and allergy meds. Also had a broken nose where nasal bone push to other side (deformity) since then have sinus disease then later sleep apnea. There is structural damage to nose. Is this from the broken nose?
A broken nose could cause obstructive sleep apnea. Anyway, the problem seems to be much more complex. I recommend performing a head MRI coupled with pulmonary function tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
