I've been dealing with a throat infection for over a year now and it's really bothering me. Every time I eat something cold or sweet, my throat starts hurting. I had sinus surgery a year ago could that be related to this ongoing issue? What could be causing this persistent throat pain?

Your prescription supports the need for leave, but a full medical certificate with diagnosis, advised rest, and duration helps smooth HR processing.

I've been having this really uncomfortable chest tightness and trouble with breathing. My cardiologist didn't find any heart issues, but I'm also dealing with this weird nasal stuffiness and a heavy feeling from the top of my nose towards the back of my head. On top of that, I feel like something's choking me in my throat, and there's a tightness in my neck. Plus, I get dizzy sometimes. What do you think could be going on? I'm kinda starting to worry.

I was diagnosed with an antrochoanal polyp after a CT scan and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm okay with surgery but I'm curious to know if my polyp is considered big or small since I don't have facial pain and only one nostril is 40% blocked while the other is fine. I had a sinus infection about 10 months ago could that be related? Do I really need surgery?

An antrochoanal polyp's size isn't determined by nostril blockage alone. While a 40% blockage is noticeable, it's the polyp's location and extent, as seen in your CT scan, that dictates its size and potential for surgery. Your recent sinus infection could have contributed to the polyp's growth, and while some patients may need surgery, others may respond well to medical treatments. Your doctor's recommendation for surgery suggests a need for complete removal to address your symptoms and prevent recurrence.
