Hi, it appears that you might be having the swelling of the trabiculae in the nose, due to which you may have blocked nose, and difficulty in breathing.
So i advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. you may need to have an M.R.I. for confirmation of the sinusitis.
Thank you.
