Suggest Treatment For Nasal Polyps

I m having a biopsy on a nasal polyp.even though I had a CT scan and the doctor said that nothing untoward was going on.but i dont think hes removing it though.why not?I have to have general anasetic which I m really worried about and I m really anxious about being blocked up afterwards.I get really worked up by not being able to breath through my nose and claustrophobic. Because I am able to breath now through one side of my nose and sometimes the one that has the polyp in.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The polyp has to be excised surgically under general anesthesia. CT shows only the extent of the lesion. So one or the other day the polyp has to be removed. Get it operated as early as possible. The blockage of the nose will be there post operatively for 3 days.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
