Why Is It Harder To Breathe Through My Left Nostril?
Hello, I have just noticed that it s a bit harder to breathe out of my left nostril. I also can only smell very very faintly from it while with my right nostril I can breathe very very well and my sense of smell is great. It gets a bit worse when I lay down I was wondering if you have any idea what it may or may not be. Thank you.
