An apparatus and methods of providing dilation to external tissue and user communication via a nasal device are provided. One embodiment comprises a flexible strip of material adapted to be adhesively secured to nasal surfaces of a user, and a signal unit which receives physiological signals of the user while disposed upon the nasal surfaces and which communicates information to the user via one or more of: acoustic vibrations, tactile contact and light emission. One or more signal units may be provided. The signal units may detect physiological parameters of the user. The signal unit may wirelessly communicate information relating to use to an external receiver. The signal unit may receive commands via wireless communication to control a subsequent communication to the user via vibrations, contact, and/or light emission. Additional embodiments comprise a fluid-filled elongated vessel adapted to conform to nasal surfaces of the user in order to dilate nasal regions. The fluid-filled vessel may include pressurized air. Another embodiment comprises a reusable resilient member engaging an elongated member having a pair of pockets disposed at each end of the elongated
