A member asked:

I am experiencing difficulty breathing (time frame: gradual) (severity: moderate) and difficulty breathing through nose (side: both) . ?

Nasal problem: You may have chronic obstruction in your nasal passages from congested membranes(?allergies) or nasal polyps. If your breathing difficulties are from a nasal cause rather than from lung disorders like asthma, consult an otolaryngologist for diagnosis and treatment.
