I'm a bit confused about something and hope you can help. Can a deviated nasal septum actually cause chest pain? Also, if someone has DNS but their oxygen saturation levels are good, should they still be worried? Would love some clarity!

DNS has nothing to do with chest pain generally. Please have your chest pain evaluated in detail.

I'm having an issue with my uvula. It seems unusually long and stretched out, and feels almost like there's something stuck in my throat when there isn't. Sometimes it makes me gag randomly. Is this something I should be worried about?

Elongation of uvula usually occurs secondary to chronic irritation which can be caused by reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder or recurrent injuries caused by irritants such as smoking and alcohol. Treatment of the primary problem is necessary

I'm really concerned because for the past 6 months, my tonsils have been swollen with these pus pockets. It all started when I got the flu, but they've stayed enlarged since then. At first, there wasn't any pain, but now there's some discomfort. I haven't been on any medication and haven't gotten sick after the flu. What could be going on here? Is this something I should worry about?

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
