Nasal obstruction impacts quality of life
Nasal obstruction is emerging as a significant but often underrecognized factor affecting sleep, exercise tolerance and overall quality of life, according to Dr. Michael Thielman, an ear, nose and throat specialist at Aspirus Health.
Thielman said patients frequently seek care only after years of mouth breathing, poor sleep or chronic throat irritation — symptoms that can be tied directly to impaired nasal airflow.
