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?

I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea nearly 10 years (I’m 37 now), and I’m not, nor have I ever been, overweight or obese. I’m very active and exercise almost daily. I’ve been using CPAP since I was first diagnosed. There may be some surgical options and I’m meeting my ENT specialist soon. Has anybody completely gotten rid of sleep apnea with surgery? If so, how? What surgery?

Surgery only works if they know exactly where the obstruction is. If it is your tonsils or nasal polyps, surgery works well. If it is farther down the respiratory track, surgery works less than 50 percent of the time. Some people just have floppy airways.

Really get a few opinions of surgery before making any discussions. Go to sleepnet.com. These message boards are strictly for sleep apnea.
