Nose/breathing problem

[Shin]

I can't breath from both nostrils at the same capacity.

There is always one that is functioning at 75% minimum, if not 90% (the other 25/10%).

It's not the same side everytime, it can change very easily throughout the day.

It's also difficult for me to take really long breath in, and especially breath out, even though it's way better than 1 year ago.

Is there anything that can be done here ?

 Are you allergic to anything? Usually this is the most common cause of rhinitis and swelling of nasal mucosa. 

For me, my dustmite allergies are a cause of having very similar condition to you nearly all the time. Haven't figured out a way to treat it yet. There are some breathing exercises that have definitely helped.

This is actually very normal, at least I remember a joga teacher saying so.

I also have some issues with breathing through my nose though, I feel like its stuffed all the time, although not running.  Could be partly allergy, oh yeah.

@Shin there is a book called "oxygen advantage" from an Irish author. There are some parts on nose unblocking and proper breathing. Hard to say if this would fix your problem. Have a look on amazon reviews  

I've been doing those in the past when I suffered from Asthma and I believe this in combination with plant based diet got me rid of it. I noticed that during those exercises my nose usually got unblocked temporarily. Perhaps if I stuck to them, it would have been fixed by now.

This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about!  I second the Oxygen Advantage recommendation.

 

As for difficulties with long breaths in and out, maybe you just need to increase your lung capacity?  Exercise (especially aerobic) should be very helpful.  Also Cordyceps mushroom is INCREDIBLY effective for improving lung functioning, and breathing.

I agree with you.
