Blocked nose.

Hi all.

I was diagnosed with MSA in 2017 and I am having problems, among others, breathing through my nose. It feels as though my nose is blocked, restricting my airway. (Just like when you have a cold). I try to blow my nose, but my blow is weak and nothing happens.

This has slowly become worse as my MSA progresses.

Does anyone else experience this happening with MSA?

Stay safe everyone.

Regards. Neil.
