Issues with breathing from one nostril
I don't know if anyone else has a similar symptom, but ever since I got this condition 4 years ago, I've had issues breathing through my left nostril and getting those proper deep diaphragmatic breaths where you can feel your pelvis and upper thighs/perineum
This has progressively gotten worse over the years, to the point that now the entire left side of my face, throat, and neck feels completely inflamed if I try to relax, making breathing and eating difficult, and this inflammation worsens in response to arousal, stress, anger, etc.
For a little information, my original injury was caused by the combo of edging, weed, and porn abuse, whereupon ejaculation, I felt a sharp, knife-like pain and felt a popping sensation/sound. Left testicle, and the left side of my head both felt a really sharp pain, and I went flaccid immediately.. ED + HFS and related symptoms have all progressively gotten worse, this breathing one being one of the worst for me.
I've seen 15-20 doctors already, did every test they recommended, and the only thing they found was varicoceles, which I got treated. Have a hydrocele still in the left testicle, but at least the dull dragging pains I had have gone away since I did the surgery.
I remember reading something about this in an academic paper online a few years back, where patients with HFS or Varicocele (I cannot remember exactly) had lost the ability to breathe through one of their nostrils. I haven't been able to find it again, unfortunately. It seems to me like this symptom is somehow related to the nervous system, but I'm really not sure.
If anyone has a similar symptom, I would like to hear about it and how it could relate to this issue, and how to manage this... Thanks, and Godspeed to you all.
