What Is Nasal Airway Obstruction?
Nasal Airway Obstruction (NAO) is a common but often undiagnosed condition caused by a narrowing or blockage in the nasal passages, making it difficult to breathe through your nose. Many people describe a constant feeling of being “blocked,” congested, or stuffy. While medications may offer temporary relief, long-term improvement often requires treating the underlying cause.
Could you have NAO? Try the Cottle Maneuver or take this brief questionnaire to assess your symptoms.
Symptoms of Nasal Airway Obstruction
Do you often feel like it’s hard to breathe through your nose? It can affect your sleep, energy, and even daily activities. These common signs may point to nasal airway obstruction:
- A constant “blocked” or stuffy feeling in your nose
- Ongoing nasal congestion
- Trouble sleeping or waking up tired
- Difficulty breathing through your nose during exercise
- Frequent mouth breathing
How is Nasal Airway Obstruction Treated?
Some NAO patients respond well to medications, while others may benefit from an invasive surgery. However, medications often provide only temporary relief, and surgery isn’t always the best solution for everyone. VivAer is a minimally invasive treatment option that can provide long-lasting relief, and it can be done right in your doctor’s office.
