Signs of a Broken Nose
7. Trouble Breathing
We can choose to breathe through our noses or through our mouths and which we choose is largely a matter of what we are most comfortable with. If you are used to breathing through your nose and, for some reason, the nose becomes blocked, it is not always exactly easy to adjust to breathing through the mouth.
If a nose is broken then the misalignment can mean that the nasal passages become restricted in terms of air flow. This can mean that the patient finds it harder to breathe than they usually would, but this can usually be fixed without too much difficulty if needed.
