Breathing
“hard to breathe through my nose”
What you see
A blocked nose without a cold, breathing through one nostril, snoring, shortness of breath at night.
What the cause may be
A deviated nasal septum, or, in the case of snoring/apnea, the position of the jaws narrowing the airway (surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea).
What the doctor looks at
The septum and nasal valves (septoplasty) or the skeletal cause of apnea: both are assessed.
