Loss of smell and taste after surgery one week later
Posted , 1 user is following.
hey everyone, I had FESS and septoplasty surgery last week on november 16th. After the surgery the pain wasn't too great and my sense of smell and taste came back within a few days, although diminished a bit. My post op visit with doctor was the following Monday where i realized that this surgery would be quite painful to recover from. After suctioning out blood from my nose, during the process I became extremely light headed and had to ask the Dr to stop because i was about to pass out. Ever since that appointment, my nose and area around it has become painful. Which brings me to today, Thanksgiving. I normally sleep in my recliner but for some reason during the night i ended up on the floor without having my head elevated. I noticed something was strange immediately as I had lost all smell and taste, which was obviously quite worrisome, especially after 10 days after surgery. Has this happened to anyone else? I also noticed that when i did my usual sinus rinse that alot of blood came out again. Dr is out today so can't get answer. Do you guys think the way i slept caused this to occur? This sucks as i cant taste anything on Thanksgiving of all days.
