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 feel difficult or nearly impossible to breathe through your nose. People with NAO often describe feeling constantly “blocked,” congested, or stuffy. While home remedies and medications may provide temporary relief, chronic nasal obstruction can be effectively treated by remodeling the nasal airway for lasting relief.
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? Maybe it’s impacting your quality of sleep, or making exercise difficult. These common symptoms might be signs of nasal airway obstruction:
- Trouble breathing through your nose, or a “blocked” sensation
- Nasal congestion
- Difficulty sleeping, which can lead to fatigue
- Struggling to breathe through your nose during physical activity
- Frequent resorting to mouth breathing
How Is NAO 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.
