Hi tortoiseLover18:

(Did you ever tell us what you want us to call you?)

When you say "stuffy nose" that brings to mind a nose that can't get air in and out. Is this what you mean?

You can buy some sterile saline solution and gently clear the nasal passages by squirting the saline in the nostrils with a syringe (without the needle).

A tortoise that can't breathe through his nose, can't smell and won't eat. So, yes, it is serious.
