Hi,
Did you suffer head trauma? Did you have any nasal complain before trauma?
Clogged nostril could be due to nasal bone fracture, nasal mass or sinus infection. Anti-hypertensives do cause nasal blockage, ask your physician to change the molecule which causes less side effect. Prazocin may also add to blockage.
General advice: 1. Take steam inhalation
Next Step: Visit an ENT specialist to get proper diagnosis and possible measures to get relief.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Himanshu Dhanak, Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist
