Why do I feel worse the more open my nose is?

Because 99% of the time surgery is not needed for nasal/sinus issues. As only 1% of people with issues have an anatomical issue.
The nose and sinuses work together with the rest of the body. It is not a separate unit. You need just the right negative pressure force in nasal/sinus cavities. When the nose is too open, which it’s not meant to be, the pressure in and out from air is absent which causes the tension headaches and pressure because there is not signal to the Trigeminal nerves to relax. The air is often too much for the throat and lungs to take in, with out the pressure notice so to speak. A wide open nose is not always a good thing. And can cause a lot of dryness

hi! i looked through your comments and youre very knowledgable about the nasal structure. so basically i have been getting symptoms similar to ENS but never had any nasal surgery before. After getting a sinus infection, my nose has been dry and crusty mucus and I cant sense airflow anymore. I also have been getting a tight throat and feelings of shortness of breath. is there any advice you could give me? i know i dont have it but having something mimicking it is truly dreadful. I also have GERD and possible LPR if that helps with anything. thank you so much for your time if youre reading this and please try to get back to me because I admire your knowledge! youre probably more knowledgeable then most ENTS anyways.

This is a very interesting concept. What kinds of symptoms would one expect to have when the trigeminal nerves can't relax? And what can be done to alleviate this?
