A member asked:

Can a gi issue cause me to feel head tightness and.. one nostril clogged alternative because my ent said nothing is wrong see a gi doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No connection.: No connection between GI and head tightness. Nostril congestion which alternates is considered normal. It is referred to as "the nasal cycle". Studies show that every 3 hours there is a change in the blood flow which causes the change in congestion.
