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, Doctor Amber Luong, I have an idea now about my nose problem...
thank you. great information
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.
brother go to professional do not go to internet
Sea Moss so helpful
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
pls reply do u buy new pillow cases
@@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.
ok thanks bro mad respectful
Thank you so much
Thanks very informative ❤
Good video thank you
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. 👍🏻
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.
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.
Update
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
Yep - I recognise all of what you're going through.......I've had the same for years.
Update?
Maybe you do have allergies- they can develop at any stage of life. I have the same symptoms. I started using Nasocort after trying Flonase which did nothing, and it helps a bit to make breathing easier.
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
Thank you. I know I need surgery. Did all the sprays and with sleep apnea it's a misery.
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
Please how can I get help ?
I'm having that one nose block on the right side....I do really needed help
What’s the name of the spray?
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'm facing the same thing if you find the solution to the problem tell me too
Same bro same
Sometimes its left sometimes its right
. 😂 plz tell me if u find solution
@@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 the same issue 😕 😪😔
@@steenmaharjan1033 same bro sometimes left sometimes right and you never realize 😪
I have been going through this right now
what is the solution because i have the same problem
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
I have this
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
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.
Update
@@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.
I can only breathe from one nose
Same
How many nose's have you got🤣🤣🤣
@@irenemorley75 lol good one.
I only have one nose, too, and use it for breathing, but constant stuffiness was what made me go see a doctor. All sorts of things can give you a stuffy nose and a doctor can diagnose whatever tbe cause of stuffiness may be.
Same
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.
How did you fixed it? Was allergies 🤧 or covid the cause?
@@betolongoria8156 I never found out because there was no testing for Covid yet. It just went away. I doubt it was allergies because I never experienced a blocked nostril again.
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 have the same problem I'm sick now and bugs me
Yeah me too
How about another possible cause like Empty Nose Syndrome?
Most people have empty head syndrome
I have a problem with one nose 👃
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.
Same
Update
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 😵💫
I’d worry more about brain damage.
How are you now??
I used to smoke a lot, I also can’t breath out of the left side. It’s not 100% blocked but it’s very obvious that it’s not as good as the other
for me it can only breathe from one nose in the other nose reduce Heat
This is exactly what’s wrong with me. How can I get help please?
Hey, how're you now?
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.
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
Damn and i thought i am the one one. 😂😂
I breathe well only one the right side of my 👃
Is it not an advantage to be breathing thru just the right nostril?
It is?
I got really messed up with Herpes1&2, all efforts to get a solution were abortive. I came across Dr Igudia on UA-cam, 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.
Bother me at night only. I use nasal spray
I KNOW I CANT GET ANY SLEEP BECAUSE I CANT BREATHE THROUGH MY RIGHT OR LEFT NOSTRIL IM ABOUT TO REMOVE MY NOSE
Does the nasal spray work? Do you spray right before bedtime?
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
Are you a smoker?
@@dracogangleader9676 no, I never touch cigarette
@@svenkenway2962 and no weed either?
Looking at alot of these and for some reason i see a lot of ppl that smoke weed with this (including me) wondering if it connects
@@dracogangleader9676 nope, never touch any weed, but I do drink occasionally
It is normal...
Unless you can't completely.
I thought the 2 causes were cocaine and baseballs
WOW, I guess it's true, woman can be doctors too. Thanks lady Doctor.
I hate itt
I hate my nose
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?
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.
