I'm really struggling with breathing properly because it feels like my lungs aren't getting enough air and my nose is almost always blocked. This has been going on for a few months now. Sometimes I get chest congestion too. It's affecting my sleep a lot since I wake up with a heavy head and I feel sleepy and drowsy the whole day. Could you suggest what might be going on?
