Busybee87 - have your polyps returned yet, since your surgery last year ? I understand this surgery provides relief temporarily for a couple of months ? what was your experience ?
Hi Wizlyric,
Did you find someone for your asthama / nasal polyps already ? I'm not sure if my case is similar to yours but here goes:
I have been suffering from Allergy/Asthama since 6 - 8 years (I can't remember exactly when it started as I neglected it for a while). I was coughing all the time. Many doctors gave me strong meds / antibiotics etc. without finding the cause. Once I tore a rib muscle because I was coughing so much (wheezing as well). Someone said I should look for a respiratory specialist / pulmunologist & Dr. Asif Sattar's (City Hospital, Health care city - Dubai) name came up. He put me on an inhaler and nasal spray. Every 3 months, I take a breathing test so we can monitor my progress.. we tried to tapper the inhaler (smaller dose) but I didn't do too well, so we went back on my normal inhaler. He speaks English very fluently. My case is a bit more complex as I have sinus / nasal polyp issues which need to be resolved before I can be medication free (they just worsen your respiratory issues). But I highly recommend Dr. Sattar. He clearly explains what medications he is prescribing. I'm getting my nasal polyps checked out at city hospital as well (with an ENT).
Hi, I need an operation to get polyps removed from my nose- anyone else experienced this over here & can you recommend a good doctor?
Nando - did you have any luck looking for a doctor ? I am looking for a doctor to get polyps removed too. I have met with three doctors : Dr. Nikita Malhotra, Dr. John McEwan & Dr. Abdul Aleem. Dr. Aleem was the only one who wasn't pushy and was very honest & polite. He emphasized that this isn't a cure only temporary relief & left it to me to get back to him about my decision. But I can't seem to find anyone who has done this surgery..
