Nasal valve collapse

[optimisticzoomer]

I think I have internal nasal valve collapse, which is where if I breathe in hard the sides walls of my nose push inwards.

I think everyone has this to an extent though, so I'm not sure if mine is a legitimate problem

Let me ask you: if you pull outwards (like shown below) and then inhale hard, does your breathing improve? Cover the other nostril

I dont want to waste money on some stupid procedure because my cartilage isnt strong enough

What about if you pull on both sides at the same time and inhale deeply vs not pulling? Ffs this is aids

That's what I thought, to an extent. I just dont know if mine is too much or not

Sounds like you have bigger problems, like autismo.

Nearly 6 year old thread but I have the same thing planning to go see ortho thought my breathing would improve after septoplasty, it didnt. What was the outcome of this?
