Breathe Freely With A Balloon Sinus Procedure

Chronic sinusitis is a very common medical condition worldwide that affects more than 30 million Americans annually

. Over-the-counter remedies and prescription drugs don't always provide the relief you are looking for, so you may sometimes just "put up with" the irritating symptoms of chronic sinusitis. If you are seeking relief from uncomfortable and painful sinusitis symptoms you are in luck! With advancements in ear, nose and throat procedures, you can now find relief with Balloon Sinus Procedure, which is a safe and effective procedure if you suffer from chronic sinusitis and are not responding to medications.

Understanding Chronic Sinusitis

Sinusitis is an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses, but when these symptoms persist after 12 weeks or more it is referred to as chronic sinusitis. Your sinuses are normally filled with air, but when they become blocked and filled with fluid, germs can grown and cause an infection. The common cold, allergies, nasal polyps or a deviated septum can lead to acute and chronic sinusitis.

Both acute and chronic sinusitis share similar signs and symptoms, but acute sinusitis is temporary while chronic sinusitis is constant. For a diagnosis of chronic sinusitis you must display at least two of the following symptoms:

*Drainage of a thick, yellow or greenish discharge

*Nasal obstruction or congestion that causes breathing difficulties through your nose

*Pain, tenderness and swelling around your eyes, cheeks, nose or forehead

*Reduced sense of smell and taste

Other signs might include:

*Ear pain

*Upper jaw and teeth ache

*Cough

*Sore throat

*Bad breath

*Fatigue or irritability

*Nausea

Find Relief with Balloon Sinus Procedure

Sinusitis sufferers - it is now time to get your life back and breathe easy. In severe cases, doctors have used special tools snaked up the nose to enlarge the sinus openings by cutting out inflamed tissue and bone. It is highly effective, but is a painful procedure that can cause a week of swelling with the potential for scar tissue to re-block the sinus.

With the new Balloon Sinus Procedure your Westport ENT opens inflamed sinuses in the same way that heart surgeons open up blocked arteries during balloon angioplasty. The procedure is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery, and effective at relieving symptoms of chronic sinusitis. Balloon Sinus Procedure allows patients to return to normal activities quickly. With the Balloon Sinus Procedure removal of bone or tissue from the nose is not included, which significantly differentiates this procedure from conventional sinus surgery.

Schedule an appointment with your Westport ENT if you have had several episodes of sinusitis that fail to respond to treatment. Your ENT will be able to provide you with further examination, diagnosis and further treatment options to help you breathe easy.
