The study used specially developed questionnaire, evaluation of nasal breathing method included аnterior active rhinomanometry (AARM) using rhinomanometr РС 300 «ATMOS». The symptoms of diffi culty in nasal breathing were noted in 68,3% of patients. The healthy individuals averages of AARM amounted to 0,19±0,01 PA/cm3/s and 813,3±36,4 cm3/s, in patients with thyroid dysfunction – 420,9±22,2 cm3/s and 0,43±0,009 PA/ cm3/s, respectively (p<0.001) . The deviation from normative values according to AARM, was recorded in 86,7±4,4% of the patients with pathology of the thyroid gland.
