Why Can't I Breathe Out of One Side of My Nose? 

What about when it only clogges up at night when you go to bed/ laying down?

Thank you you were very knowledgeable and informative.

Quite helpful, thank you Dr. Luong.

thank you. great information

Thank you, Doctor Amber Luong, I have an idea now about my nose problem...

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

Well explained.

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.

You had me at "Hi". 😂Yeah I've been having this issue lately it bothers me everyday. Saw an ENT and surgery wait times are so long.

Thank you so much

Thanks very informative ❤

Good video thank you

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

Thank you. I know I need surgery. Did all the sprays and with sleep apnea it's a misery.

I have this stuffy nose whether its left or right always. it started 2017 i suddenly got allergies from dog fur/hairy stuffs & others which from before i dont have until 2016. i think the stress from work gave me this. going to ENT and always asking me to buy they sprays, medicines is just so useless it helps temporarily but still comes back after. i think surgery in my sinus would be better

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. 👍🏻

The moment Lay down on my left side I can’t breath I have no idea why this happens to me lately bc of that I start noticing unsymmetrical face like really bad what should I do help me

I'm having that one nose block on the right side....I do really needed help

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

I have been going through this right now

Been having this issue for years now sometimes its the left sometimes its the right these nasal sprays never work for me and I hate using them. Im about ready to just remove my entire nose

I can only breathe from one nose

I have this

what does surgery cost

I had a runny nose for one day and I bought this spray for it at Walmart and now I can’t breath from one side it’s my left

Please how can I get help ?

What’s the name of the spray?

I got really messed up with Herpes1&2, all efforts to get a solution were abortive. I came across Dr Igudia on RU-vid, placed an order and I got the medicine. Indeed that was the change of story in my life. I’ll keep on telling everyone about you doctor. Gratitude.

Maybe she says it, didn't feel like watching the whole movie, but jogging and forcefully inhale through my nose cured it. Y'all should try it and let me know if it fixed it

Been having this issue with my right nostril several weeks after a tooth extraction. it is nearly impossible to breathe in or out through that side... and it is causing issues with sleep.

for me it can only breathe from one nose in the other nose reduce Heat

I had this around the beginning of the pandemic. It lasted only a few days and never came back. Isn't a blocked nostril a symptom of Covid? Had an Antibody test done around March 21st 2021 and it was negative.

Doctor, If I can breathe through right nostril I can't breathe through left nostril and if I can breathe through my left nostril I cannot breathe through right nostril 😢

I haven’t really been able to breath my entire life through my left nostril. It doesn’t bother me a ton but when I’m sick it gets super runny hurts

I’ve seen other comments referencing a connection to smoking, specifically weed. I have no science to back this up but I’m a heavy weed smoker and I can never breath out of the left side 😵‍💫

Been having this problem for a couple years. Had bleeding for a short time in the beginning but the bad smell comes and goes. The smell seems to be inside my nose.

How about another possible cause like Empty Nose Syndrome?

Damn and i thought i am the one one. 😂😂

I breathe well only one the right side of my 👃

This is exactly what’s wrong with me. How can I get help please?

I have a problem with one nose 👃

Bother me at night only. I use nasal spray

I've never been able to breath thru the right side nostril. Like cartilage is blocking it. I had plenty of accidents as a kid. Not sure what happened. Luckily i only need one side.

It is normal... Unless you can't completely.

Is it not an advantage to be breathing thru just the right nostril?

I have been having this nose problem for almost 15 years, I've tried spray but it's only temporary and now the spray doesn't even work anymore, I have almost giving up at this point

I hate itt

I thought the 2 causes were cocaine and baseballs

WOW, I guess it's true, woman can be doctors too. Thanks lady Doctor.

Excocaine head 😂

I learned nothing!!!

Hi Doctor 👩‍⚕️ Why does my right side unclogs when I switch sides and how do I keep it unclogged? Are Allergies my problem?
