I have a pretty deviated septum as well. Can barely get air through one side. Kindly share your experiences with it!
Also my resting breathing patterns are stupid from working with diesel boats for years, I learned to breathe very shallow and infrequently. It certainly hinders me on the bike and there are spurts where I remember how to belly breathe and I can do much more ftp climbing for example. I remember someone here having one of those masks that people say are for elevation but they are really for teaching you to breathe. I should look into that.
