Strange growth?

I am experiencing what I can only describe as a "flap" or "valve" that seems to be in the turbinate of right nasal passage. If I block off left nostril and breath in forcefully, this flap recedes inward and allows air in thru passage but not out. If I breathe forcefully out, it advances and lets air out but not in. For some hx, I tested positive on 12/22/22 for COVID and have been recovering well since. Experiencing dizziness the past few days. I have also been experiencing very bad headaches the past few years whenever I bend down for any extended length of time with head below heart level(tie shoes, pull weeds, clean spills on floor etc). Have had sinus blockage on right side for a very long time. Hx of turbinate reduction, deviated septum, tonsillectomy, uvula removal. The headaches, dizziness and this new tissue "flap" have me concerned. I have an ENT appointment in February but hoping for some possible feedback. Thanks!
