What Can I Do To Stop Flaring My Nostrils?

I keep 'flaring' my nostrils - this has become an issue over the past 5-6 weeks and is becoming a dreadful habit. My face is aching and my nose feels blocked. if I sniff hard I can taste blood. I am not stressed, neither do I smoke. I drink in moderation.
