Cause #4: Deviated Septum Nasi
A deviated septum nasi is a condition where the nasal septum or the bone and the cartilage that divide the nasal cavity of the nose in two halves is crooked or significantly off the center. It is believed that about 80% of people worldwide have some sort of nasal septum deviation without knowing about it and without having no symptoms or only minimal symptoms.
The most common symptom of a deviated septum nasi is nasal congestion. In these cases, one side of the nose is more congested than the other, which will lead to difficulties breathing as well. If you have recurrent sinus infections, then a deviated septum might be the cause.
