I’ve have lived w the same sensation most of my life. To the point where I couldnt breathe while I slept unless I was laying on my left side (not good for my shoulder).
I went to a doctor and he told me my turbinates were swollen. Had a procedure and got them trimmed. Best thing I’ve ever done. I can breathe in any position I sleep in now. Haven’t had an issue breathing since.
One thing to look out for after the procedure is the mucus. I have to blow my nose damn near everyday now. Multiple times. I just builds up now since it’s more open I suppose. Minor side effect but def still worth it.
I used to have this issue, along with migraines and bowel irritability. Then I realized one day that I’m lactose intolerant. Started drinking lactose free milk and my sinus problems are gone along with the other issues. It is so nice to not have migraines any more! And sinus problems! And bowel problems!
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.
