Hello, I have been having a lot of issues and a lot of fears recently. The most recent is that my left nostril felt partially blocked all the time, and it would literally feel better when I would manually lift a little bit one side of it. Although I saw ENT specialist on April 15th ( which was normal exam and recommendation to use saline spray often), I went again. ENT doctor was patient, and looked again , especially into my left nostril, and confirmed that the bottom of my septum has a slight deviation which is now little more pronounced ( getting older and the cartilage is weaker), but added that I absolutely need no medication, and to use saline spray more often. He assured me that there is nothing serious and that I am fine.
However, I noticed a few days ago that my glasses leave much more obvious dent on my left side of the nose ( side of the nose bridge under the eye), than on my right side. That I know I am not making up because it is obvious: when I take my glasses off, there is a small dent there, while almost none on the right side! It almost looks like my left side is little swollen and that is the reason why glasses leave bigger imprint on that side. I have to admit though that also on my left side of the nose bridge I have had burst capillary for years now ( checked long ago by my dermatologist) ; what I am saying is that glasses have always fitted badly on my left side - maybe that is just how my nose is. But the dent , although small, is so obvious now.
Of course I keep on thinking that there may be something on the left inside my nose ( tumor) and maybe it is near the sinus and ENT did not register it. Maybe that is why left side is little "fatter" and the glasses leave bigger imprint.
I am embarrassed to make an appointment again with him but this is now haunting me. Any piece of advice / words of comfort/ suggestions please. I am starting to panic.
