Looking at your scan it looks like you have significantly enlarged inferior turbinates on both sides which seems to be cause for your problems. I don't see any signs of sinusitis. Probably you have severe allergies that is the cause for turbinate hypertrophy. You may need to undergo turbinate reduction surgery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
