Nasal obstruction, or difficulty breathing through the nose, results from a blockage in the nasal passages. The common causes of nasal obstruction include anatomic abnormalities of cartilage, bones, and membranes in the nose and other various causes of nasal inflammation such as allergies. There may be obstruction on one or both sides of the nose and it may be present constantly or intermittently during certain times of the year or even only during certain times of the day. The frequency and location of the obstruction often reveals the cause of the nasal blockage but you have to ask the right questions. That’s why you need a nose specialist at Houston Advanced Nose & Sinus. Dr. Kuperan is one of the few fellowship certified Rhinologists in all of Texas with specialized expertise, experience, and skills in treating patients with nasal obstruction.
