It gets very difficult for me to breathe out of the right side of my nose. The left side is almost always clear. I can also put an entire q-tip inside of my right nasal cavity. The right side bleeds often and gets gunk stuck in it. I had a CT scan done on my sinuses, but the ENT doctor I am seeing hasn't answered any questions or explain anything in detail. She claims my CT scan is normal. In the CT scan, I can CLEARLY see that one side is slightly stuffed up. Is this CT photo "normal"?
