This meme pains me. Have had two surgeries on my nose and sinuses to help this, but I had an S-shaped septum and weak cartilage surrounding my nasal valves. Breathing in collapsed one valve, breathing out collapsed the other, and that had happened pretty much my entire life. So much better now, but my breathing will never be "normal".
[Serious] Did you ever develop any kind of Afrin addiction along the way?
Nope, my breathing problems were never helped by anything like Afrin. If anyone, only saline spray or neti pot seemed to help. The valves in my nose were the most significant issue but then in my sinuses, my ENT/surgeon said, and I quote, "it was all jacked up in there" 😂😂😂 I do appreciate he recognized the casual approach was best with me, even if I understood the technical bits about the procedures.
