Asked By:kawaiilover in Scotts Valley, California

I feel like the insides of my nose touch when I inhale. The right nostril closes a bit more than the left. I saw my doctor for an in person exam and he did not acknowledge that I had valve collapse. I'm starting to think I'm crazy? Can anyone tell me if this is valve collapse? I am a year post op
