I was given too much anesthesia while having nasal polyps surgery?

---

I obtained my records from that day and I found out they gave me too much anesthesia, plus fluid overload which caused CHF. They kept me in h ospital, all the while not telling me, leading me to believe I just got sick on the anesthesia. Do I have a legal case? I was kept in the hospital because of their error.
You need to prove that u have suffered due to medical negligence. Unless u are very sure that there was medical negligence on the part of the hospital u don't stand a good chance of winning the case.  (+ info)

Extreme Fatigue and a Obstructed Nostril a Sign of Nasal Polyps?

---

I've been suffering from extreme fatigue for three months now. The onset was sudden and since then I have noticed that I often am unable to breathe out of one side of my nose. It changes from nostril to nostril and sometimes I can breathe fine out of both. The biggest symptom is my extreme fatigue, I literally will wake up and want to go back to sleep and my mind feels like a fog and I don't want to move my head at all. If anyone has had symptoms like this or anything please respond, I don't want to feel like this anymore.
You could have allergies. That would explain your nose and the fatigue. There is a problem called chronic fatigue but its treatable. You may also just not be sleeping good at night and not getting a good nights sleep can cause health problems. You should go see your doctor about possibly chronic fatigue, allergies, or maybe even a sleep apniea. That woulds be the best. As long as your not throwing up, fever 101 +, not eating, indigestion, constant infections (respiratory), I wouldn't be to concerned but I would still go someone who knows.  (+ info)

any research done on loss of sense of smell due to nasal polyps surgery?

---

no longer can smell after snasal polyps surgery, although steroids brought back smell for a few months after first two surgeries. I obtained one sniff of smell all of last year, and, 4th and 5th surgeries, yielded no smell with use of steroids. Has research found something to bring back any smell at all?
probably there is recurrence of polyposis. may be small polypi in the roof of nose-at the site of olfactory nerve, which is responsible for smell.
get ENT check up done  (+ info)

Are there any natural cures or over the counter medicines for nasal polyps?

---

My husband has no insurance and is to the point where he is choking at night and dripping from his nose all day. I hope someone has an answer.
A polyp is a small tumor, usually benign, that develops on a mucous membrane. The only cure is removal. He needs to make an appointment to have them removed. Some doctors will offer a somewhat reduced fee for a patient without insurance and will also allow you to arrange to make payments.  (+ info)

What are nasal polyps? How common are they? How are they treated?

---

Thanks in advance for any info you can offer.
Nasal polyps can develop in the mucous lining of your nose or in one or more of your sinuses — four hollow cavities above and behind your nose. But polyps aren't a disease. Rather, they're the end product of ongoing inflammation that may result from viral or bacterial infections, from allergies or from an immune system response to fungus. Chronic inflammation causes the blood vessels in the lining of your nose and sinuses to become more permeable, allowing water to accumulate in the cells. Over time, as gravity pulls on these waterlogged tissues, they may develop into polyps.

Although nasal polyps can affect anyone, they're more common in people older than 40 and in adults and children with conditions such as asthma, chronic sinus infections, hay fever and cystic fibrosis.Having a condition that causes chronic inflammation in your nose or sinuses is the greatest risk factor for nasal polyps. Those with allergic fungal sinusitis — a serious allergy to environmental fungus — are especially likely to be affected. Nasal polyps also occur in people with Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare disease that inflames the blood vessels (vasculitis).

In addition,if you're sensitive to aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), you're more likely to develop polyps than are people who don't have this sensitivity.

Children who have both nasal polyps and hay fever are candidates for allergy skin testing, which can provide important information about allergic sensitivities. Allergy skin tests aren't uncomfortable for most children and can usually be completed in 30 minutes or less.

If you have one or more small polyps, your doctor is likely to prescribe a corticosteroid nasal spray such as fluticasone (Flonase), triamcinolone (Nasacort), budesonide (Rhinocort), flunisolide (Nasarel) or mometasone (Nasonex). These medications relieve inflammation, increase nasal airflow and may help shrink polyps.

Hope this information helps answer some of your questions.

Other medications for nasal polyps include:

Oral corticosteroids. Sometimes your doctor may prescribe an oral corticosteroid, either alone or in combination with a nasal spray.

In addition to treating your polyps, your doctor may prescribe medications to control allergies or infection. Antihistamines, for instance, counteract histamine, an inflammatory substance released when your immune system encounters an allergen. If you have hay fever or other allergies, antihistamines may help relieve your congestion, although they won't eliminate polyps. In addition, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics for an acute sinus infection.

Antifungal medications. Researchers have discovered that some cases of chronic sinusitis may be caused by an unusual immune system response to environmental fungus. For that reason, antifungal medications may be useful, though surgical removal of fungal debris also may be necessary.

Surgery
Treatment for nasal polyps may also involve surgery. When medications aren't effective, your doctor may recommend removing your polyps. This is often the only option for people with cystic fibrosis who usually don't respond to steroids. The type of operation depends on the size, number and location of the polyps. Options for nasal polyps surgery include:

Polypectomy. Small or isolated polyps can often be completely removed using a small mechanical suction device or a microdebrider — an instrument that cuts and extracts soft tissue. The procedure, called a polypectomy, is performed on an outpatient basis. After polypectomy, you'll be treated for any underlying inflammation, usually with corticosteroid nasal sprays and sometimes with antibiotics or oral steroids. Even so, polyps frequently return, and you may need additional surgery.

Endoscopic sinus surgery. This is a more extensive procedure that not only removes polyps, but also opens the part of the sinus cavity where polyps usually form. If your sinuses are very blocked or inflamed, your doctor may open even more of your sinus cavity. In both cases, your surgeon uses a thin, rigid tube and a camera called a video endoscope. Because endoscopic surgery requires small incisions, you generally heal more quickly and with less discomfort than with other types of surgery. Still, full recovery may take several weeks, and polyps often return.  (+ info)

Three months ago i had endoscopic surgery to remove nasal polyps and clear my sinuses.?

---

One of the symptoms was loss of taste and smell which is very uncomfortable, and also a feeling of pressure at the top of my nose. My nose is again blocked and i find my sense of smell and taste is poor in the morning. How long before things settle down?
Given your history, if your symptoms are returning, I would believe that you have return of polyps...re-evaluation from your ENT/HNS doctor is necessary. If you are free of polyps, then it's generally a matter of either damage to the nerve or swelling around the nerve, the "olfactory nerve". It can take months for this to resolve and smell, taste to return, if it has not returned in a year, chances are it won't. Some physicians will place you on a short course of steroids (Prednisone) to see if this is helpful. Consult with your ENT/HNS doctor to let them know the problem exist.
If you live alone, make sure you have functioning C02 detectors, fire/smoke detectors and do not take any chances on foods that perhaps are rancid or spoiled, just throw them out.  (+ info)
