If your nose isn't blocked right now, take a moment to appreciate that. (lemm.ee)

Mine has been blocked for the last two days. Running like a tap as well.

My nose is lifelong blocked at one side. It switches every few hours. Too lazy to get it fixed because it's a minor inconvenience that I'm used to

This is completely normal.

Our nose switches sides to push air in or out of every couple hours. It’s called the Nasal Cycle. Here’s the wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cycle

Specialised doctor ran some tests, showed that my ability to breathe through my nose is limited. Would have done surgery but it wasn't the right time.

Went to him to look at my sore throat, he just noticed that my nose was a bit off. Did some tests.

Had some damage at the entrance of my stomach which caused the sore throat, so I went to a different specialist for that issue and ignored the nose stuff.

First, FundMECFS is right, sounds like nasal cycle. Second: A natural way to have a completely free nose for about a minute is probably an orgasm 🤣 not kidding, try to take deep breaths through your nose next time.

Think of how good it would feel to get it fixed though.
