Flute/wind sound when breathing out of my right nostril

January 10, 2025
Asked By:Sandra_B in Soere, Buskerud, Norge

Hi I went to specialist because my nose started making a flute/wind sound when I breath out. He didn’t find any nasal perforation, and the doctor said that the right side were really straight that he can see all the way back in my nose wall. What other things can cause this? Can the nose canal be so straight that is makes a turbine noise, or is that not possible? It’s so annoying and I feel depressed and tired. Please help me! I’m going to another specialist February 19th, what should I say?
