ALternately Migrating Clogged Sinus

I'm going crazy with a question I can never seem to get an answer on. I have all my life noticed something about myself and I don't know if it is normal or not. When I breathe only one nostril functions the other one is clogged. Funny thing is that it migrates . Half way through the day I'll notice that I no longer have a right clogged sinus it will now be a left clogged nostril.Is this normal?

I've been having the same thingall my life.  I have never been able to breathe clearly out of both nostrils at the same time.  I was beginning to think that this was normal.  It alternates throughout the day.  I can only breathe clearly out of one nostril at a time.  The other nostril is always about 50% clear.  I'm going to ask my doctor about this deviated septum thing.

It's kinda good to know that I'm not alone with the problem and that there is some advice on what to do about it.

Thanks!!!

I have the same thing!! I always thought I had a deviated septum. Think a doctor confirmed that when I was 17, but he said it wasn't severe enough to warrant surgery. (Tho I think I'm going to get it checked again and see what I can do now)
Maybe you should go to an Ear, Nose, Throat doctor and get your nose checked for deviated septum?
