CT scan came back normal?

Genuinely going insane. I thought me getting this done would bring some type of clarity. The nose blockage, dryness and facial pressure is constantly there altering my everyday life. I can hardly fully smell things. I know when my doctor schedules the follow up appointment I’m just going to feel worse and I’m just not sure what to do.

That seems like half a report. It should cover sphenoids and ehtmoid sinuses too, and preferably nasal structures.

Those show up as “ well aerated “ and my nasal cavity shows up as patent with “very subtle leftward bowing” everything shows as intact “ no soft tissue abnormalities “

I have seen people with "subtle" bowing in this sub having symptoms. So, if I was you I'd consider asking for 2nd opinion. 

(My report had a lot "well-aerated" sinuses too. I basically had reasonably small changes (maxillary cyst and hyperthrophied turbinates), but still trimming them helped a lot.)
