When I lay on my left side at night; my left nostril swells and it's difficult to breath from that side. Is this likely the turbinate filling with blood or tissue on the septum filling with blood?

ENT says that turbinate swelling completely blocking nostril opposite of deviated septum is normal? Most of day is with obstructed nostril, completely blocked after waking up. Sinus headaches and post nasal drip. Should I seek a second opinion?
