Over the past few years....

I have had difficulty breathing through my nose and of recent its becoming much worse. Anyone else had similar experiences? It's actually beginning to have a negative affect on my gym training.

I believe this is being caused by Nose polyps but cant remember what a specialist said years ago, I remember I was prescribed nasal sprays and that didn't work particularly well.

It seems the only option is to get surgery to fix the problem, but of course there are risks associated with it it seems (after doing some reading on the internet) Has anyone had surgery to correct the difficulties breathing through their nose ? Detail your experiences please if possible...

Going to see the GP when I have time, will keep this thread updated.

Cheers.

Skip the GP; go to an ENT specialist for an endoscopy...though you may need a GP referral for one. GP will tell you it's polyps or something with a glance up your nose; ENT will shove a camera up there and find out what's actually doing it.

Could be polyps...you may need a submucosal resection to open up some space up there. Could be anything.

Too much rack braaaa

Or not enough?

Lol, I don't do any of that sort of stuff.

Ah I see, yeah only reason I was going to see a GP was for means of a referral.

An SAU member has PM'ed me regarding the success of an operation he had...so I've asked about the details of the specialist he went and saw.

Have you tried a nasal spray called Omnaris?

Is it both nostrils or just one?

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.
