Since there are many reasons people can have difficulty breathing through your nose, you'd best be served by an "in-office" evaluation and examination by a nose and sinus specialist to ascertain the root causes and come up with a solution for you. Best of luck.
Difficulty breathing can be caused by swelling of thesoft tissues on turbinates usually from allergies, airway obstruction from adeviated septum, fractured nasal bones, polyps or large bony prominences fromthe turbinates.
