breathing troubles, help please?am a 20 year old male, and for the last couple of months I have been having some weird problems with my breathing. First off, I went to an ent and found out that I am allergic to grass, maple, mold, cockroaches, dust, corn, soy, lettuce, onions, beef and pork, and also discovered that I have a moderately deviated septum. I have found that my nose is almost always congested, and even when it clears up briefly I still cant breathe out of the right side, so after a couple minutes of nose breathing I will have to mouth breathe in order to catch my breath. The ent also said I had a case of post nasal drip, which I attribute to the deviated septum. I can breathe a lot better through my mouth, but it just doesnt feel natural and whenever I am forced to do so I kind of panic and start to wonder things like "well what if i start having trouble breathing through my mouth" etc and then start breathing heavily. It seems like my throat is always slightly full of mucus and tight too, which makes breathing through my mouth seem inadequate sometimes. I do not think this is asthma, as I never have any wheezing or chest tightness, and I had two x rays of the lung, which both came out clear. Also whenever my doctor or mom (whos a nurse) listen to my lungs apparenbtly they sound "excellent". Im at a loss as to what I should do about this, can anyone offer me any insight?

Hmm...I'm very sorry but I'm quite stuck on this one.
However, if by any chance it could be an Asthma related issue, and if it's anything like my Asthma, it should get a bit better soon: often, Asthmatic people find their Asthma goes hay-wire around this time of year because of pollen in the air from Spring. So if it is seasonal Asthma (possibly...) this could be the reason.
The mucus thing is interesting, as a lot of Asthmatic people get more mucus in their mouth than regular people: because our airways are smaller, so more mucus is passed up into the mouth to expel things (dust, insects) from the lungs after it had passed down the wind pipe. So, I wouldn't be surprised if it could be some form of Asthma: perhaps, to be on the safe side, get yourself get checked out by your GP - just in case.
As for your nose, speak to your GP and ask to see a nose specialist (their proper name escapes me) and see if there's any blockage (swelling etc) which could be impairing your ability to smell and breathe through your nose properly.
I'm afraid this is all of the help I can offer, as I said, I was quite stumped when I read this, but felt like I should do something to help, given your condition.
Bets of luck, and I hope everything turns out alright.
