[24M] Difficulty breathing through my nose, feels like it just closes and opens up at will. It's not mucus.

It feels like there's a physical obstruction in my nose that comes and goes. It's not mucus or a booger or anything like that. And when I blow out of my nose hard I can feel the air pressing on something and TBH it kind of hurts.

This has been going on for about 2 weeks now and has progressively been getting worse. I just started taking Lisinopril for my high blood pressure if they matters. But I feel like I had this issues before I started the medication.

Airway patency in the nasal canals swap frequently. This is to prevent the mucus membranes from drying out as they are the epithelial tissues first line of defense against debris or pathogens. Watch to see if the ability to breathe swaps nostrils over a period of time and if it does: Totally normal.

Both of my nostrils close off though.

I would recommend going to a physician who specializes in ears nose and throat (ENT) in that case.
