      Can't complain about dry throat... But I can make an issue out of having that tiny, stabbing itch in the back of your throat that won't go away after downing a gallon of water. It's such a bad itch that my eyes get all watery.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      I heard somewhere that there is a natural rhythm where you alternate favouring one nostril over the other. However, it shouldn't be completely blocked, and you definitely shouldn't be feeling a sharp pain.

      Maybe you should have it checked out. I used to have a deviated septum, and huge turbinates. I had the surgery to fix the septum, and a turbinectomy, and things are better. Also, when I get a cold, it's definitely less of a problem, since there's more room in there.

      Punch yourself in the face, that usually does the trick. Alternatively, ask a doctor.

      I remember reading this in something about meditation that I must have discovered through this site. It was about positions for meditation, and it said whenever you lay on your side the nostril closest to the ground will clog up after a while, and when you roll over, that one will eventually clear and the other one will clog. I've always found it to be true. It might not have anything to do with snot or swelling or anything... could just be those masses of olfactory tissue shifting around in there - they do kind of resemble thick twisted curtains all jumbled around - hard to understand how it's EVER clear in there really.

      The surgeon who did my septoplasty actually said that too. It's usually just light swelling from being on that side.

      I also could only breath through one nostril for a long time. Sometimes not able to breathe through my nose at all.
      I've fixed the problem by no longer consuming dairy products. I've researched it and it seems that milk causes extra mucus production. Not everyone agrees on that but it helped me.
      Also alternate nostril breathing can help. What you have to do is alternately close your left nostril with the pinky of your right hand and right nostril with the thumb of your right hand. So you close one nostril, breathe in, close other, breathe out, breathe in, switch again,...
      It can sometimes take me about 30 mins but after that I can easily breathe through both. Breathing deeply seems to prevent it so usually when I do get that problem, it's because I forgot to breathe deeply.

      This! It makes falling asleep hard as heck, having to rotate to a new side every time my nose is clogged again. I've always had breathing problems, and I'm glad that someone else knew this too. I thought it was just my imagination!

      My right nostril is always partially closed. I can choose to breathe solely through the left nostril without pinching the right one with my finger if I want to, but I can't breathe through only the right nostril without pinching the left. It's always been like that, and it can be annoying sometimes. I think I need to have a surgery sometime.
