blocked nose?

oceansize

Hi,

For about (i can't remember how many) years now i've pretty much always had what feels like a partially blocked nose. Even when i clear it (after exercise etc) i still can't really smell anything that well. I can smell ok but not nearly as good as i used to be able to. it always feels like my nostrils are slightly blocked inside, maybe in the nasal passage, when i push in on the bridge of my nose it seems to open the passage a bit more but i still can't smell all that well,

Any ideas?

Cheers

Did you get a bang on the nose a few years ago?

I broke my nose playing rugby years and years ago. I didn't actually know I broke it til about 6 months after it had happened, but one side of my nose is like you describe because it is slightly crooked

Best seeing a doctor about that one.

I've a similar sensation in mine - went to a doc who referred me to a specialist who said I'd polyps in my nose that could be cut out or I could take a Flixonase. THe operation would probably have to be repeated again in 5 years so said I'd try Flixonase and see where it gets me. Only just stated using it the last couple of days so no relief yet but hopefully...

As I said, best go see a doc.

OP your basically asking for a diagnosis on what could be wrong with you. This forum does not exist for that type of thing, sorry.

If your concerned by your health, yes, even if it's "just" your nose, then you should go see a Doctor

Good Luck
