I woke up this morning sneezling and kerfluffling with an obvious bout of Revolting Horrid Insidious Noxious AaaaCHOOO (RHINA for short) Hayfever (allergen unknown) which settled within the hour to one tickling and constantly dripping nostril (LHS) and one weeping eye (also LHS).
The RHS of my head/face is fine and dandy! 
Anybody else have weird symptoms such as these?
Yeah, but I usually associated that with coming down with an upper respiratory infection/cold. My allergies always seem to involves both sides of the nose.
Yep. The left side of my head is always more congested than the right, and last week
when this year’s allergies kicked in, it was all up in that left side of my head.
Luckily, one Claritin kicked it back, then it rained, though now that it’s sunny and bloomy again, I need to take one today.
Yeah, sounds like a sinus infection or sinusitis (irritated sinuses).
if you have a deviated septum it can make one side worse, as can having cysts jn your sinus cavity
I no longer have the sort of problems **Kam **complains of because I had my deviated septum surgically straightened. Doing so was probably the best temporary-pain-for-long-term-gain things I’ve ever done.
Ahhhh, so THAT’S the issue??
I’m actually on a PH waiting list for a ‘nose job’ (not of the cosmetic variety unfortunately) so maybe there is some light on the horizon!
Well it was the issue in my case.
Nurse checking in. The left side thing may be gravity. I will not even attempt to offer a diagnosis, but before you go under the knife, hear me out.
The airways to the lungs (bronchi) are big tubes, and the left one has to take a bend around the heart whereas the right is a bit of a straight shot. The bend in the left one is the reason people in respiratory distress always lay on their left side. Now, I’m not saying hay fever or a simple cold is “respiratory distress”, but your body doesn’t really know that.
The heart leans a bit left, and because of that the right lung has three lobes whereas the left only has two. This means that when when you can’t breath well you are always going to sleep with you left side down. If your lungs are oriented with the left side down, so’s your head. Mucus is a fluid - it’s going to go downhill. And, well, there you go. Can’t breath through your left nostril.
Again, if you think it’s your septum, by all means see a doc. But take it from a nurse. It could be nothing by gravity.
