Nostrils...

I have a terrible cold right now and I find it so annoying that I can only breathe through one nostril. Then about every 1-2 hours, I can suddenly breathe through both nostrils for about 3 seconds, and then it switches -- the congested nostril is suddenly all clear and the previously clear one is all congested. It's so annoying! Does this happen to anyone else?

Re: Nostrils...

  • Oh yeah - every single time I have a cold. I think it's the single most annoying symptom!

    Hope you feel better soon! Coffee (<-- pretend like that's chicken soup lol)

  • I haven't had that. I hate when I'm congested and cannot taste food. I guess that doesn't happen to everyone either.

    My mother and sister both get this, but I've never had any problem with it. Then again, I don't have a very good sense of smell normally anyway - maybe that's why?

  • Happens to me all the time!  Infact, when my allergies act up it happens too.  It's so annoying!

  • That happens to me too! It usually happens when I'm in bed. Whatever side I'm lying on, the nostril will get clogged, but if I flip over it drains into the other.

    Hm, that turned out grosser than I intended.

    Ha! I do this on purpose sometimes, just to relieve the tedium of only being able to breathe out of one nostril lol. 

  • Thanks for the soup, Lisa!  :)

    I took lots of Dayquil, Nyquil, tea, OJ and soup and I feel a lot better now. Thank goodness...because the other annoying thing about being congested is that I feel like I can't breathe when I'm brushing my teeth...I really feel like I'm going to choke. I guess cause I breathe through my mouth but my mouth is full of toothbrush and toothpaste....it's the worst!

  • Since I started getting terrible sinus infections a year or so ago, I discovered the magic that is a neti pot.  It's kind of gross while you're doing it, but it feels AMAZING afterwards, and the feeling lasts for a while.  It's totally awesome.
