Hello, I have this problem for 2 years now. Last year I got surgery and my nose was set straight and after I could breath much better. But as soon as I started sparring again after a 2 month break the same problem ocurred again. So I can't breath properly thru my nose and I think it affects my performance during fights neither is it very pleasant in my daily life. What can I do that this problem goes away permanently? Thanky you for your help
