Left nostril is most of time blocked..the right one is just fine..i broke my nose when i was 10 years old and im 21 today..can that be related?

Yes.: The prior fracture may have rearranged your anatomy so that you are more plugged on the L than the R. This can be surgically corrected and is generally a simple procedure. See your doc.
