Maybe: Nasal breathing problems can be due to polyps, enlarged turbinates, deviated septum or evan allergies. The best thing to do is consult a doctor trained in nasal surgery.

Nasal Obstruction?: Nasal breathing problems can be due to multiple reasons that range from allergies & nasal inflammation / chronic diseases to structural problems such as septal deviation, turbinate enlargement, and nostril collapse when you breath in. You should see an ent/otolaryngologist to evaluate you for these problems and to decide on the best course of treatment.
