Is it always the same side that is blocked? If the side that is blocked varies, could it still be a deviated septum?

Year round for me. Very annoying. Seems to be affected by gravity. If I want one side cleared up, I'll just pitch my head one way.

You naturally start breathing through different nostrils every few minutes. The side that is stuffed up is the side with the infected mucus membranes.
