Nasal blockage: Usually it causes nasal blockage, but most people who have nasal septal deviation have no symptoms at all.
It can also cause nasal bleed and sometimes recurrent sinus infections

Deviated septum: This can only be determined by physical examination. Be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
