Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. What was the exact reason for your sinus surgery? If you can upload the images of any Sinus CT Scan done before the surgery in 2009 or any clinical and operative notes (discharge card), it will help in understanding why the sinus surgery was done. A post-op or recent CT PNS (Para Nasal Sinuses) will reveal whether the surgery was adequate.
2. Adult onset Asthma is probably due to occupational or environmental exposure.
Do you have sensitivity to aspirin?
3. GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) is very common with Asthma. It leads to symptoms such as the uneasiness that you have in the chest after eating. This may also mean that you have food allergy which may trigger off an an attack of Asthma. Get a consultation from a Gastroenterologist for treating this associated condition.
4. There is no cure for Asthma, however, it may be controlled. You are already on a long acting beta agonist and a steroid.
5. Other treatment options are:
a. Adding an anti-leukotiene agent such as montelukast.
b. Targeted Immunotherapy.
c. Monoclonal Antibodies such as Omalizumab.
d. Bronchial thermoplasty.
6. You may consult a Chest Physician for these newer treatments.
I hope that I have answered your queries. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.

Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. Get a plain CT PNS (Para Nasal Sinuses) pre-and post decongestion with Xylometazoline (Otrivin) done. If nasal obstruction is prominent but relieved by the decongestant, Radiofrequency ablation may help reduce the nasal obstruction. Nasal Polyps may require steroid therapy and revision surgery.
2. For guidance, you may contact:
a. Dr. Jaswinder XXXXXXX Saluja. Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.
b. Dr. K. R. XXXXXXX MAA ENT Institute, Somajiguda, Hyderabad.
