If I have clear sinuses but I obstruct one of my nostrils, I breathe out of the other one and under no duress I feel calm and display no need to unobstruct the other nostril.
If one of sinuses and nasal passages is fully stuffed such that no air can go through, catch me flipping on my sides an laying upside down so I can open up a small sweet path for fresh air.
A lot of those public bathrooms have stupid high pressure, back in high school one of my friends came up to the group and ushered us into the bathroom to show off that he had kicked a sink off the wall, and the water pressure from said sink was spraying water HARD against the opposite wall.
Use planners and reminders for benign tasks. You shouldn’t be stressing and thinking about that all the time. All that being said, I do get that sense of dread, omw to work.
I was an asthmatic child. Still am as an adult but I sort of out grew it in my teens. It still pops up when Im sick, or when air quality dips, or if I get allergies, or its there but Im used to it and it’s not as bad as when I was young.
As a kid though oh man I would frequently come down with colds and frequently have a clogged nose. It was not uncommon for me to breath through one nostril for a day, then it might shift later that evening and no amount of blowing or picking would save it. Then of course when I was sick which again was frequent I would be a mouth breather.
I still loudly sneeze through my mouth as an adult, not because I want to make a scene but because sneezing through my nose would hurt and lead to two snot trails flowing down my face.
Its funny now that I think about it I usually dont carry tissues with me but as a kid I always had a pack in my pocket because snot was an inevitability.
I had this exact thought back in high school, and for some reason I still remember it every so often and just sit there, thankful I can breathe so well in that moment.
