A member asked:
How come i can breathe more clearly when i push up on the bridge of my nose until it clicks? i have a dorsal hump if that makes a difference.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal obstruction: The hump and clicking are not significant. By pushing up on your nose you are likely increasing the air flow at the narrowest portion of you nasal airway, the nasal valve. See an ENT doc to look at it more closely.
