Alright so I know I got allergies & ever since I was little I kind of had this problem but it would clear up & I would go back to breathing fresh air. But now it’s like my nose it clogged like no air is coming through there it feels like it’s cutting my breathing off & like I’m suffocating getting no oxygen. I can feel the air hit my face but fly pass my nose & I feel like it’s effecting me I’m away because my lungs & I don’t smoke by the way. If got any idea on how to fix this that would be great because right I feel like I’m just suffocating slowly.

    Hey I’m not a professional but I woke up one morning and could hardly breathe out my nose, I’m guessing it’s just when it’s through your nose? If so you might have a deviated septum (meant to only happen with injury) but I woke up one morning with it) worth getting it looked at if it is that because you get used to how much your compensating for your nose, I didn’t realise how bad mine was till I had surgery on it (which by the way if it is that) it’s a walk in the park, hope it helps like I said I don’t know at all but could be similar thing?
