Dealing with a deviated septum

People who suffer from a deviated septum are generally all too familiar with breathing problems. The septum is the cartilage that separates the nostrils. A deviated or abnormally curved septum can exist from birth or result from a broken nose.

A deviated septum makes it hard to breathe through one or both sides of your nose, so sufferers tend to breathe more often through their mouths to get the air they need. This can cause snoring, which can disturb your rest.

Breathe Right nasal strips can open blocked nasal passages and make it easier to breathe freely if you suffer from a deviated septum. Breathe Right nasal strips should not be considered as an alternative to definitive surgical correction.
