Does aeviated septum and obstructive sleep apnea make excercise (running) difficult?

I have a deviated septum, one of my nostrils is almost completly closed. I also have obstructive sleep apnea (too much tissue in my throat). I’m trying to start running but when I reach about a mile I have shortness of breath. Could this be the cause?

You definately will have breathing issues but you can learn to breathe in and out of your mouth to overcome that, also be sure to start your pace slowly. Failure to do so will just cause you to get out of breathe quicker.

Good luck!
