With the exception of losing weight (already a 22 BMI) I tried pretty all of this to no avail. Turns out I had a deviated septum and surgery fixed the problem. As a bonus, I can easily breathe through my nose now.

Septoplasty and tubinate reduction surgery was one of the best choices of my life. Lifelong allergy sufferer, being able to truly breathe was profound.

> tubinate reduction surgery

I've read horror stories about that. Apparently a lot of the problems could be solved by teaching kids how to breathe (no mouth breathing), having a proper diet (chewing), &c. of course once you're fucked you're fucked and you have to go to these extremes to get your life back. It's like our lifestyle is slowly evolving us out of this planet

I have a deviated septum, but the doctors in the US doesn't think its medically necessary to do Septoplasty and I also have a sleep apnea, come to think I should get this done.
