I don't know if this is a medical condition or not, but I've always known myself to use only one of my nostrils to breathe. I've been puzzled about it because it feels weird to make use of only one nostril when God provided me with two. Another funny thing about this phenomenon is the effective nostril always switches. Today, only the left nostril is working, tomorrow, the left nostril is clogged and the right one opens up. In all of these, I don't experience any breathing distress though. Does anyone also experience this or is it strange?

Walk into the most quiet part of your house, close the doors , then read your post out loud to your ears. Does it sound normal

You will be perceiving odours like a dog and breathing in an insane amount of air that will make your lungs to explode.

Lol. for one reason, I highlighted that I don't feel any breathing constraint or difficulty. I breathe as easily as every other individual using two nostrils. I'm just concerned cos there are those who claim they experience the same while others say they use two. I'm trying to find out if there is a normal/abnormal way this works.

Actually it is normal. There is something called the nasal cycle but it is usually so efficient you don't notice it. It is only when there is some degree of obstruction it becomes noticeable. Would you believe the nose produces about a litre of mucous every day? It is usually swept into the throat and swallowed u noticed to the average person. It is only when there is a problem and the rate of production increases people start noticing something trickling down their throats. God produced the most sophisticated machine and till date science has not been able to replicate 10% of God's glorious works.
