A member asked:

Why am i breathing in with my mouth most of the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gurmukh Singh answered

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful answer without examining you. There may be a blockage in nose due to deviated septum, nasal polyps, hypertrophic turbinates etc. It would be prudent to consult an ENT doctor.
