Different size nostrils - Is my septum deviated? (photos)

Asked By:Benjamin_Cherif in Oakland, California

I was wondering if I had a deviated septum and why my nostrils are different sizes? It does seem like air passes through my right nostril much easier than my left one which seems perpetually stuffy.
