Seasonal allergies: Are you a candidate for Coblation® Turbinate Reduction?
Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 3:25PM Email Article Do you suffer from nasal allergies, with the constant sneezing and watery, itchy eyes? If your allergies are sourced in your nose, you may also be snoring through the nose—a side effect to allergies. There is a cure though: Coblation® technology. The good news is that it's a minimally invasive 5-minute cure...
Turbinates swell up inside the nose when inflamed from nasal allergy symptoms. As a result, air struggles to get through the constricted nasal passageway. As you sleep the enlarged nasal tissues—turbinates—contribute to snoring.
Turbinates that create nasal obstruction may be caused by long-standing environmental allergies as culprits from hay fever, to mold.
How do you know allergies are to blame for snoring? For the typical patient, it’s a lot easier to make at least a rudimentary self-assessment of snoring when it originates in the nose. A constant stuffy nose and allergies make it fairly obvious.
What is the cure for nasal allergies? Whether you snore while you sleep or not, if you suffer from chronic allergies, you will benefit from the Coblation® Turbinate Reduction for Allergies procedure. Debilitating environmental allergies probably keep you from sleeping soundly, and your bed partner as well, which is not healthy. Performing Coblation® for Allergies is extremely effective and can be done quickly by Dr. Macdonald, board certified ENT, with a nasal turbinate channeling device. Also known as cold ablation, turbinate reduction's shrinking of the irritated tissue on the inside of the nose widens the nasal airway, and thereby improves air flow. Thus, your sinus pressure and congested nose are reduced and you can breathe again.
Sleep well, live well...
