I've been having trouble breathing because of a deviated septum in my left nostril and it's affecting my concentration and causing anxiety. Can you tell me more about laser septoplasty surgery how it works, recovery time, and if it could help with my symptoms?

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.
