I too have problems breathing freely while meditating (or any other time really), due to chronically swollen turbinates (not allergy related though). I had laser reduction done and it helped a bit, but is still a problem. I do find that the process of meditation tends to improve my ability to breath after 15-20 minutes. My qigong master advises to just breath through the mouth if one has to. It's better to continue practice in a modified way that to quit, unless you just feel like quitting anyway. Good luck.
