Can't breathe through one nostril? my left nostril is fine, whereas my right nostril barely passes any air at all if any. i've had this all my life.

Nasal Airway : Hello, it sounds like you may have either a deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy or possibly nasal polyps. A visit to your ENT physician will provide you with a detailed examination of your intranasal anatomy and develop a possible treatment plan. Good luck.
