My diagnosis, PND

MissPretty · Post by **MissPretty** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 11:23 pm

George80; the paper that I got from my doctor (CT scan) was just a lot of text, there was no picture. I'll upload it anyway? I do not know what I am at now, going crazy. Read a bit about Rinexin on the Internet. Do you think I should ask my doctor to get it printed. supposed to be good against sinusitus (though I only had swollen sinuses) I have already made an endoscopy. It turned out that I had h pylori, which I received antibiotics. What do you want me to do now?

No, the CT scan, not the diagnosis. You don't have to post it here, but get your CT scan and check it yourself if you want, although e.g. aydinmur knows well how to read it.
Look at your scan an then google this: "how to read a sinus ct scan". Then check a few links and try to understand it.
We're trying to find out, what your ENT maybe has not realized.

I'll call my doctor on Monday and ask for the correct paper with the picture. I'll try to send it to you George and Aydinmur. Does not know how to upload pictures on this page. [/img]

My ENT told me constant tongue scraping will make the PND worse. That makes sense I guess.

I called the hospital but could not get the answer from the CT scan on paper but you could buy a CD where all the pictures were. I wanted to upload pictures and show to you and Aydinmur. What should I do now? Feels a bit like it's over for me now...

I had my appointment at the Hospital a few weeks ago. They said my thing is minor and I should try regular treatment first, meaning nasal spray, reducing the swelling of the turbinates. Did not work at all, got even worse and I sometimes had a disgusting taste from the spray, as if something burned was in my mouth.
Next thing will be to check the ENT to have a look at my turbinates, if they got thinner. Then a CT scan again, since my one is too old. Man, I'm fighting this shit too long and I'm getting tired.
So I cannot tell you what to do MissPretty. You have to find out yourself. I only assume that my deviated septum is the real cause. But there will be no progress without surgery. I hope they are willing to give me this someday.

Hello, I was watching this site for a long time and I performed all the testing a couple of times and was on rounds of antibiotics last one -
Levaquin almost made me disabled and I took it in dose of 500mg
once a day together with docycilline 100mg twice a day. No result!
My CT scan result -

NASAL CAVITY :ComplexS-shaped deviationof the nasal septumis noted.
There is a septal spur on the left. Concha bullosa of the right middle turbinate is noted.
FRONTAL SINUSE: CLEAR.
ANTERIOR ETHMOIDS:Uremarkable.
OSTEOMEATAL COMPLEXES: LONG INFUNDIBULA AND uncinate
but open.
MAXILLARY SINUSES :clear.
POSTERIOR ETHMOIDS/APHENOID SINUSES ; no significant mucosal thickening.
MASTOID AIR CELLS;Clear
NASOPHARYNGEAL SOFT TISSUES; Unremarkable

IMPRESSION :COMPLEX deviation of the nasal septum with septal spur, otherwiseunremarkable study

I have known people with a deviated septum and absolutely no bad breath. BTW, a deviated septum is very common and may not have anything to do with bad breath.

A deviated septum by itself is unlikely to cause BB, but if it causes sinus blockage or airflow disruptions it could cause problems that could lead to BB.

I don't know any of information could lead to bb. I just try to help
people to understand the cause.
Also I have a mild fever every day after 3p.m.
Does anyone has a fever?

aydinmur wrote:Concha bullosa is a reason of Type 2 halitosis. These are some small pneumatized spaces in nasal concha. They are filled by serum. Anaerobic bacteria silently invade them. Generally they have no symptom (pain, pus, or congestion). For this reason neither radiologists specify them in their reports nor ENT specialists attempt to cure them.

This is most important difficulty in halitosis treatment world wide. I frequently see such pneumatize concha in many patients. When/if Ent specialist eliminates them, that people continue their life without or lesser halitosis.

That's very interesting. I have a deviated septum and I'm sure I've some issues with my turbinate(s). I would file my BB under this type two that you've mentioned. in the summer with sea air etc it gets much better. My mum has similar issues and I could recognise a similar mild odour every now and then.
I've always the feeling that I'm breathing at 60-70%.

I don't see how this could be true

I went through surgery to straighten my septum. It does not help.

I thought I would post this before you guys waste your money.

kostugova · Post by **kostugova** » Tue May 10, 2011 2:57 am

I am not a doctor, I just one of the sufferers and my son got a bb too.
I just was going from doctor to doctor and I'd like Murad to tale a look at my CT.
I don;t want to do ANY surgery because nobody knows if it't will help.

deviated septum is a thing, a problem with concha bullosa is another. this assumed you have type 2 bb.
