It's like everyday

It's actually normal.
Your nostrils cycle between like this so that the one can take a break from the air flow and mitigate drying out.

I just wanted to say these comments are off the chain. This is how the internet used to be- just people chatting, making jokes and telling stories.

I didn't know how much I missed it.

This is called the nasal cycle.

Use Flonase to help (need daily use for >= 4 weeks) If this doesn't help enough, you should see an ENT.

Fun fact: the turbinates in the nose (which are responsible for the nasal cycle) have erectile tissue in them.

If you hold your breath to the point you can't anymore your body will automatically clear your nostrils in an attempt to help you not suffocate to death

Used to always have clogged nostrils when going to bed.

But when I slept at hotels I never had a clogged nose.

Turns out I was just allergic to dust mites.

Bought anti-dustmite sheets / spray and boom, no longer had clogged nostrils in bed.

They actually switch every hour or so, so after two hours you should be back where you left off.

Fuck this post made me remember I was on automatic breathing and switched to manual, fuck

There's a trick I learned for clearing a stuffy nose.

Place the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Then, place a finger on the bridge of your nose.

In very small motions, alternate between pushing up on the roof of your mouth, and then releasing that and pushing on the bridge of the nose. Use a gentle teeter-totter to rock the pallette. Repeat ten or so times and, within a few seconds, your nose will be open.

If you ever get to breathe through both at once: it hurts from the dryness.

This is me when I sleep or lie down but the nostril wall never comes down 😭

Meanwhile, both my nostrils are so dry they've got tumbleweeds blowing around in them.

Masturbation will clear you up for a bit.

It's a normal human phenomenon.

Take it a step further, Advanced yoga practitioners use "alternate nostril breaths" to consciously alter/improve physical & mental state.

Exhale all the way Hold it for 30 seconds Breath through your nose

Mine gets like this depending on the amount of dairy I consume. It's can be pretty clear most of the timesbut mmmmhmmm ice cream and cheese...

You gotta snort some water up that nose and blow hard. sweet relieve

This is so relatable.

My nostrils when I wake up are both of the closed-off ones
