I have breathing issues sometimes. Could this be the cause? (Photo)

It is possible that this is contributing to your breathing issues... but it is hard to know for sure without looking inside your nose. If you only have the issue 'sometimes", it is more likely related to your inferior turbinates.

Hello, from only this angle doesnt give certainity but it looks like the issue. Frontal looking we need to see photo and also with endoscopic camera it can be identify.

You have deviated septum and a boxy tip. You would benefit from a rhinoplasty and septoplasty.

Dear Sierra,
You appear to have a nasal septal deviation. This could be affecting your breathing. A full internal nasal examination would be required to confirm that.

There are many issues on the inside of the nose that can cause breathing difficulty, such as a deviated nasal septum, turbinate hypertrophy, valve collapse, allergies, and chronic sinusitis. The base view photograph demonstrates a septal deviation at the bottom of the nose, however, a thorough internal examination of your nose is required to make a determination about our best to proceed.
