My ears nose and throat doc recently told me I have a severly crooked septum that he wants to correct with surgery. I have had migraines for years, and I get atleast one a week. He says that there is a chance that this surgery will help. On top of the migraines he said I was allergic to timothy hay and bermuda grass, and that I was a level 4, which he didnt bother to explain. SO my question is, has anyone out there had a septoplasty for migraines?? Does it actually work ,and is it worth having the surgery? At this point I will do anything to stop the headaches, they prevent me from doing things with the family and that is a total bummer. Anyways, any comments are appreciated!! Thanks!!

Just the impactiveness of surgery could effect your migraines, but its not caused by the physical structure of your nose.
becareful when a doctor suggests surgery. Get a second or third opinion. My ex 7 years ago saw a doctor and was diagnosed with throat (lymphatic) cancer and was told to make plans and say goodbye to family members because she didn't have long to live. She was a nervous wreck. cry and freaking out. I suggested she get a second opinion, so she did. Come to find out she just had a freakin sore throat and it went away in a few days. Shes alive and well with no signs of cancer.
my dad gets migraines and vomits alot when he eats regular old table sugar. Its because his body is missing the enzymes that would properly break down sugar. So since it can't be broken down, his body considers it a poison.
heres what wiki says causes migraines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine#Triggers
• Allergic reactions • Bright lights, loud noises, and certain odors or perfumes • Physical or emotional stress • Changes in sleep patterns • Smoking or exposure to smoke • Skipping meals • Alcohol or caffeine • Menstrual cycle fluctuations, birth control pills • Tension headaches • Foods containing tyramine (red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and some beans), monosodium glutamate (MSG), or nitrates (like bacon, hot dogs, and salami) • Other foods such as chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, avocado, banana, citrus, onions, dairy products, and fermented or pickled foods.
Many people report that one or more dietary, physical, hormonal, emotional, or environmental factors precipitate their migraines. The most-often reported triggers include perfumes or fragrances (30% of sufferers) stress, over-illumination or glare, alcohol, foods, too much or too little sleep, and weather. Some women experience migraines in conjunction with monthly menstrual cycles.

I close family member had migraines for years. The surgery "cured" them. Ushould always get to a second opinion from another doctor. Also, try WEBMD..great site for medical info! Hope this helps. :)

I had a septoplasty about 5 years ago and my migranes started a year ago. I am not a doctor but there didn't seem to be any connection there to me. If I were you I would get a second opinon. Did you doctor do a lumbar puncture to make sure it had nothing to do with your spine?
