It does seem like I have 2 noses. I have no idea, my nose is not plugged up at all, but for all my life my left nostril does nothing and only my right breathes in and out. I just tested it right now, put my finger under my left nostril and breathed heavily…. nothing at all. Put my finger under my right nostril and breathed heavily, totally could feel it.

I mentioned it to my doctor before and he said that doesnt make any sense, so I shut up thinking I was stupid.

But really, my ENTIRE life I remember this. Only 1 nostril will work, and its always only the right one. Makes no sense. I do have only 1 lung, but seriously, each nostril doesnt go to a single individual lung, right? Me having only 1 lung cant possibly cause only one nostril to work? Can it….?

I am still perplexed.
