Question: My right nostril has been quite difficult to breathe through for a long time especially at night. A month or so ago I started with nosebleeds from my left nostril which are really short and quick but come on sudden, usually after getting up from laying down especially in a morning, or when moving around. It is reccurent and every morning when I stand off my bed it happens. some mornings I can have like 6 or so of these short bleeds, it's litterally only about 5 drips. When I wake up I can feel the blood dried up my nose an in the back of my throat. I looked up my right nostril as I was curious if I could see what the congestion was and I really don't know how to describe it but it's like my septum on the right side is bright red an inflamed to the point my nostril is shut, only on the inside right at the top, the bottom of my nostril is open. I am unsure if this is some sort of growth, I have no pain in my nose however I have been having alot of strong headaches and migraines and have quite large swollen lymph nodes especially in my neck (these have been there a long time) and behind my right ear this one is a little larger than normal but again no pain at all. I am just wondering if you have any idea what this could be as it's getting quite annoying. Thank you.

Hi thank you for your reply it has been very useful. Would the problems you suggest cause bleeding from the opposite nostril? I was involved in a car accident about 7years ago where I thought I had broken my nose and have had difficulty breathing through the right nostril since then it is just since the bleeding in the left nostril, it has been more difficult to breathe through the right one, I seem to be waking up during the night 'mouth breathing'. Thank you for your time.
