What Is a Nasal Obstruction?

Nasal Airway obstruction, also known as a congested or blocked nose, can dramatically impact the quantity and quality of the air you breathe in.

Nasal Obstruction Problems

This lower volume of air may lead to:

  • Chronic nasal congestion, or stuffiness
  • Persistent nasal blockage or obstruction
  • Difficulty breathing through nose
  • Difficulty sleeping, snoring, and fatigue
  • Inability to get enough air during activities

What Causes Nasal Obstructions?

Nasal Airway Obstruction

The Septum, Lateral Wall, and Turbinates form a triangular area known as the Nasal Valve. If any of these tissues enlarge, nasal airway size is reduced, causing lower airflow.

  • The Septum is the narrow ridge of bone and tissue between the two nostrils.
  • The Turbinates are fingers of tissue that direct and warm air as it enters the nasal cavity.
  • The Lateral Wall is the side tissue that forms the outer wall of the nose.
