10 Deviated Septum Symptoms
Symptom #10: Sleeping on One Side
Most individuals have their preferred sleeping habits. Some prefer to sleep on their backs, on their stomach, or on their left or right side. However, in patients with a deviated septum, the main reason they prefer to sleep on a particular side is to help optimize their breathing through the nose throughout the night.
This occurs when the deviated septum narrows one side of the nasal passage. Patients tend to sleep on the side where the septum deviates as it means the good side is not blocked.
