I have had sinus issues for years but lately it seems worse. Every time i lay down at night either my right or left side gets blocked, even though i don't have a cold. Asthma is also an issue as well. I had Covid in September and these issues seem a lot worse since then. I suffer with allergies also so i think its all connected.

Just wanna share a thing that helped me (might not help everyone). Had this problem a lot throughout my teen years. But after a few of my friends slept over in my bed they got the same thing and they said they never had it before. So then got to talking and thought it was the mattress but I switched that 2 years prior and my issue still persisted. Then we thought my pillows bc I've had the same pillows for nearly 15 years, nobody ever told me you were meant to switch them. Then bought new pillows and have never had this problem again other than me being sick. I guess its all the times my drool, sweat, coughing and other bodily fluids has come on them that made it not agree with me anymore. BUY NEW PILLOWS ANYWAYS

@@Nolan364 I did yes but it wasn't bc of the pillow cases. I'm not sure since I buy new pillow cases 1s a year bc it doesn't feel right after you've washed them a lot. I'd just suggest buying new pillows, if you're thinking of it.

@@steenmaharjan1033 I deal with that. For me, it’s the shape and general irritability of my sinus tissue. I’m still waiting (7 months and counting!) for my specialist consult for a potential solution, likely a stent or something. I dealt with this most of my life, but it became unbearable in the past few years as I’ve developed more and more severe allergies to pollen of all types.

I have had an obstruction that keeps me from breathing out of my left nostril for about 6 to 7 weeks. I can breathe in but not as freely as usual. Sometimes when I lay down on my right side I can breathe out. It has been rough especially since I do have a deviated right septum. I tried Flonase and Coromlyn. No help. Finally got in to see an ENT. After a 5-second examination she said she saw nothing and blamed it on allergies. And I don't suffer from allergies. I had hoped they would do an endoscopic exam.....oh well. Ty for an informative video

I can hardly breath through my left nostril. I assumed any deviated septum I have is congenital because my dad has one. I did get hit in the face with a basketball when I was a kid though, and the hit caused a nosebleed. Wish I knew for sure why I have one. Anyway, I’m hoping to get a septorhinoplasty this year. Great video. 👍🏻

@robertp.wainman4094 6 ай бұрын

Similar thing here - was accidentally hit on the nose with a golf club as a kid, which certainly broke my nose and have had a blocked nostril since.....yet ENT consultant says the septum isn't deviated and has offered various drops and sprays over the years. Have tried saline washes, nasal dilators, tapes, allergy tests etc. etc. The disturbance to sleep, headaches and muzziness due to the blocked nostril gets you down.

@@ygbodybuilder3023 Still having the issue. Seems I will have to have both an ENT and a maxofacial surgeon operate on me at the same time this December. Makes it hard to see a doctor when they all make you want 3-8 weeks at a time, and then refer you all over the place. Guess it turned out the dummy that extracted my tooth royally messed my sinus cavity up, to the point where they thought I had already had an operation because it was so botched up there. I'm not the... welfare type... am homeless... and this has made my life hell because I can't do much anything right when I can't breathe. To complicate things, I caught covid and had a mess of a time trying to get it out of that sinus area.

Every 2 weeks this keeps happening, I’d get nose problems, what’s more annoying is when I’m trying to breathe through the non clogged nostril it always heats up or something or keeps getting too liquidy, after a few days or week it goes back to normal for only 1 week and then repeat, it’s been happening for months

They don't know shit. Only one nostril opens at a time. It switches around one hour and inbetween both nostrils are open for little while. It's explained in old Indian scripture. Now I think scientists also found the same.
