Blocked Nostril
I have always had my left nostril blocked, if i close the right side i cant breathe in through the left for love nor money. Today while on the treadmill it suddenly unblocked itself and its really noticable being able to take in x2 the normal air through the nose. Is this pollets or something else? Not looking for 'go to the GP' advice, just wondered if anyone has the same issue

Sounds like sinuses. Do you still smoke? Any glue ear symptoms? Yes, I get similar issues. When I smoke, it comes back. When I don't, it goes away (for the best part). My brother had to have an operation recently on his nose due to a sinus problem caused from Thai boxing years ago.

I think I have an allergy of some sort as my nasal passages are never clear. I use one of those nasal pumps before I go to bed and that clears it enough for sleep.

Neti Pot, my wife gets a constant blocked sinus condition, and using a neti pot has pretty much sorted everything out

My left nostril is blocked most of the time, put it down to having my nose broken in the past and something inside blocking air flow. Don't really notice it anymore, had problems with it since I was a kid.

Same here, my nose is still bent from a sly backfist years ago. Sinuses have been a bit wonk ever since. Try cutting out the cigarettes if you still smoke anyway. Does make a pretty major difference to sinus problems.

wannagetbigmatt you've always had 1 blocked nostril and its never bothered you??? Yeah this would be my worst nightmare, i hate having a blocked nose. Altho it often happens i'm extremely glad when it goes, hate not being able to breath properly. 1ManRiot

I find when using those nasal sprays the blocked nose won't go away completely if you keep using them. Bite the buttle and stop for a few weeks and see if it clears up on its own accord, this is my experience with nasal sprays.

I have this problem,probably due to having my nose broke twice.
If you love something let it go,if it comes back to you it's yours,if it doesn't it never was.

Could be deviated nasal septum/polyps/large turbinates, might be worth getting it looked at if its causing you jip.

JimRat Could be deviated nasal septum/polyps/large turbinates, might be worth getting it looked at if its causing you jip. Had mine reduced via surgery last year ( inferior or lower turbinates ) as they were causing me problems at night , as I have to wear a CPAP device due to sleep apnea . Turbinates are weird things, they are bits of bone covered in tissue that has an "erectile capacity" and can swell with blood like other bits of the body   , Google it to see. This is to reduce cold air and dust. The functions of the nose include Warming , Cleaning and moistening the air. Noticeable difference in breathing and my nose now blocks less and clears faster when I have a cold . My sense of is better too. Can't imagine a Turbinate "suddenly unblocking" though.
