    I read somewhere on Reddit or somewhere way back when about The nasal cycle where one nostril sort of constricting (just due to blood flow and normal sinus congestion) allows for optimal air flow and moisture in our nostrils.

    The poster also said that if this regular nasal cycle resulted in being unable to breathe on one side, consistently, you have a deviated septum. I don’t know if that’s 100% true, but I 100% had a deviated septum.

      My septum is very much deviated. I thought it’s normal that I can’t breathe half of the time. Turns out it’s not normal and can be treated
