What are the complications of atrophic rhinitis?

In rare instances, atrophic rhinitis can cause you to lose your sense of smell (anosmia). You may also develop empty nose syndrome. This condition can make you feel like there’s something blocking your nasal passages, yet they’re wide open. As a result, you may constantly feel short of breath even though your lungs are taking in sufficient oxygen.
