What causes nasal obstruction — and what can be done about it?
You wake up unable to breathe through your nose — again. You reach for a decongestant spray you have been relying on for months. You lie awake at night, mouth breathing, disturbing your partner with your snoring. You feel tired, foggy, and frustrated. If this sounds familiar, you are far from alone. Nasal obstruction — the persistent inability to breathe freely through the nose — affects millions of people in the UK. Yet many patients endure it for years, assuming nothing can be done, or not knowing where to turn. As a consultant ENT surgeon and rhinoplasty specialist with over 30 years of experience and more than 3,000 procedures performed, I can tell you with confidence: in the majority of cases, something very effective can be done.
