What does mid vault collapse mean?

rosiecon12
I was told it looks like I had a mid valve collapse and I have breathing problems!!! I'm 20 years old and have had some trauma to my nose and have to sniff EVERY day just to breathe. Could sniffing deeply/manipulating my nsoe be damaging it? I have to live with this thing in my face for the rest of my life and I'm scared I could end up like Michael Jackson.......! :(
