Unrelated but I also gave up on fixing my problem: For the past ~8 years I have a constant feeling that one of my nostrils is almost closed and hard to breath. I went to several doctors, did all kinds of exams and they found nothing.
I feel like I need to blow my nose all the time and it drives me crazy sometimes. It gets worse when I have a flu. Sometimes it even bleeds a little, like it's irritated.
My family thinks I'm crazy so I stopped mentioning a long time ago, and one of the doctors even laughed at me.
- maxerickson 10y agoAn ear nose and throat doctor (otolaryngologist) should be able to inspect the opening quite well by sticking a scope in your nose (I recently had this done). One of the reasons I visited the doctor was a persistent feeling of fullness in one of my nostrils. With a Face and Jaw CT they would be able to walk you through it all visually (ask how much it will cost up front though, it varies a lot).
- mitm2mitm 10y agoI did, they said I have a slightly deviated septum, but that's common for most people and there's no need for surgery. And that I shouldn't even feel anything. I also checked my lungs and everything was fine. It might be related to a mental disorder or something. I have anxiety and maybe other stuff that I never bothered to fix.
