Introduction: When Constant Nasal Congestion Took Over Everyday Life
At 36, Mr. Rahul Chatterjee was living an active and productive life when he began experiencing persistent nasal blockage, facial pressure, and recurring headaches.
Initially, he believed it was a seasonal allergy or temporary cold. But as weeks turned into months, the symptoms became increasingly severe. Breathing through the nose became difficult, sleep quality worsened, and he constantly felt tired and uncomfortable.
The recurring sinus infections began affecting his work performance, emotional well-being, and social life. Even simple daily activities became exhausting due to continuous discomfort and poor sleep.
Understanding Nose & Sinus Disorders (Rhinology)
Concerned about his worsening symptoms, Rahul consulted Dr Arindam Das, a Consultant Otologist & Cochlear Implant Surgeon with expertise in Rhinology.
After detailed nasal examination, endoscopic evaluation, and imaging studies, Dr. Das diagnosed Rahul with chronic sinus disease affecting his nasal passages and sinus drainage system.
