is nasal polyps dangerous - #26403
I am really worried about this thing I’ve been dealing with for a while now. I found out I have nasal polyps after going to the ENT because of persistent sinus infections. The doctor said that these polyps can affect how I breathe and might lead to chronic sinus issues, but I didn’t really get a good grasp on whether is nasal polyps dangerous or not. Like, do they actually cause serious problems? I mean, my symptoms have been a constant stuffy nose, the feeling like I can't get enough air, and sometimes headaches that just won't go away. Could these nasal polyps become a bigger issue down the line, or am I overreacting? I’ve read mixed things online; some say they can lead to more severe health issues while others kinda downplay it. I had this one friend say is nasal polyps dangerous, and that freaked me out a bit. Just don’t know if I should be proactive about this or if it’s something that’s just annoying at most. If anyone else has dealt with nasal polyps, please share your experience. Would love some insight on is nasal polyps dangerous and what I should be watching for, thanks!
