breathing through nose making a whistling noise?
Question:
Answers:
Dust mites might be the cause of these symptoms. Give your room a good old vacuum and give the cuddly toys a day in the freezer to rid them of lurking dust mites. Your nasal passages may be inflamed by the little mites. It is not the case that your house dirty is just dust settles everywhere and it may be that you have a dust allergy.
If you use a nasal spray be economical in their use as they can over a period of time damage the delicate membranes in the nasal passages. Far better to occasionally wash your nose out with a saline solution (bought from the chemists). Better still go and see your doctor and be advised by him and hopefully he will be able to find out the cause of the whistling noises.
My cat makes a whistling sound when he is asleep bless him. The cause; a damaged nose from playing when he was just a kitten. He also has a bad sense of smell. What's yours like?

ever try blowing your nose?
One good way to clear this out... blow your nose!
If that doesn't work, you could always try one of those nasal sprays. At first, you might notice more whistling, but after it all drains, it should go away.
sounds like you've got boogers to me!
It sounds like a polyp, you need to see your gp and they'll arrange a visit to an ear, nose and throat specialist. Its no big deal.
Nasal congestion
Definition:
Many people think that a nose gets congested (stuffy) from too much thick mucus. This is incorrect. A congested nose happens when the membranes lining the nose become swollen from inflamed blood vessels.
Congestion can be caused by many of the same things that cause a runny nose including colds, allergies, sinus infections, and the flu. Overuse of some nasal sprays or drops can also lead to congestion.
Alternative Names:
Nose - congested; Nasal congestion; Congested nose; Stuffy nose
Considerations:
A stuffy nose is usually caused by a virus and typically goes away by itself within a week.
Newborn infants must breathe through the nose. Nasal congestion in an infant in the first few months of life can interfere with nursing and cause life-threatening breathing problems. Nasal congestion in older children and adolescents is usually just an annoyance, but can cause other difficulties.
Nasal congestion can interfere with the ears, hearing, and speech development. Significant congestion may interfere with sleep, cause snoring, and can be associated with episodes of not breathing during sleep (sleep apnea).
In children, nasal congestion from enlarged adenoids has caused chronic sleep apnea with insufficient oxygen levels and right-sided heart failure. The problem usually goes away after surgery to remove the adenoids and tonsils.
Common Causes:
Common cold or the flu -- often accompanied by a clear, watery discharge plus fever, cough, headache, joint aches, muscle aches, or sore throat
Hay fever -- often accompanied by a clear, watery discharge, itching eyes, and sneezing
Sinus infection -- often accompanied by thick, cloudy, yellow-green nasal discharge, and pain or tenderness around eyes and cheekbones that worsens when bending the head forward
Vasomotor Rhinitis -- is a term used for nasal symptoms that aren't caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergies, but by irritants such as dry air or pollution. The symptoms can usually be helped by saline nasal spray/drops or nasal steroids, or by avoiding the irritating substance
you seem to be a heavy breather there is nothing wrong with the way you are breathing but try to breath in & out slowly then you will find that that noise will not be heard by you
