Does a deviated septum & obstructive sleep apnea make excercise (running) difficult?

February 7th, 2011

I posted this under the wrong category before. I have a deviated septum, one of my nostrils is almost completly closed. I also have obstructive sleep apnea (too much tissue in my throat). I’m trying to start running but when I reach about a mile I have shortness of breath. Could this be the cause?

Sure. OSA is terribly hard on your heart and cause pulmonary hypertension. Are you treating your OSA with a cpap or bipap?
