My doctor recommended septoplasty in early February because I often feel suffocated. I have a really important exam in mid-March if I get the surgery in February, will I recover enough to handle both? Right now I'm using fluticasone nasal spray and taking oral allergy meds

I recently got a CT scan of my PNS, and the report shows I have a deviated septum, concha bullosa, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Lately, Ive been feeling this weird swollen sensation next to my nose on both sides, but theres nothing visible when I check in the mirror. I'm curious if this might be causing some of the symptoms Ive been experiencing. Like, could this be related to the pain I feel in my forehead, or the discomfort in my upper jaw, the area above my ear, and the side of my head? Sometimes I even notice balance issues, neck pain, and just feeling really tired or sleepy for no reason. Its weird, but these things mainly happen when I'm in an air-conditioned space or when cold wind hits my face. Does any of this sound connected to my nasal issues?
