Most septal deformities result in no symptoms, and you may not even know you have a deviated septum. Some septal deformities, however, may cause the following signs and symptoms: Obstruction of one or both nostrils. This obstruction can make it difficult to breathe through the nostril or nostrils.
COPD is a type of obstructive lung disease in which chronic incompletely reversible poor airflow (airflow limitation) and inability to breathe out fully (air trapping) exist. The poor airflow is the result of breakdown of lung tissue (known as emphysema) and small airways disease (known as obstructive bronchiolitis).
Patients are usually labeled with âreactive airwaysâ if they have a history of cough, sputum production, wheeze, or dyspnea. Sometimes, however, the only prompt for a diagnosis of âreactive airways diseaseâ is the possession by the patient of an inhaler of some sort. Most often, physicians who use the terms do not have pulmonary function test results for the patient.
