HELLO AND WELCOME TO HCM.
HYPERTENSION IS NOT A CONTRAINDICATION FOR UNDERGOING SINUS SURGERY. ONCE IT IS UNDER CONTROL WITH MEDICINES, U CAN UNDERGO SURGERY. SHORTNESS OF BREATH MAY BE DUE TO ANXIETY OF SURGERY. U NEED TO GO TO UR PHYSICIAN, HE WILL CHECK UR CHEST AND PRESCRIBE U MEDICATIONS ACCORDINGLY. IF UR DOCTOR HAS ADVISED FOR SINUS SURGERY, DONT DEFER IT FOR LONG TIME. IT MAY LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS OF THE DISEASE.
