What Causes Congestion Of Nose When I Lay Down?
Question: My nose always gets severely stuffed up when I lay down. As soon as I sit upright, espeshily if I walk a bit, it clears right up and I can breath out of it again. Is there anything I can do or take to help this? Is it anything I need to worry about?
Brief Answer:
Nasal drops before sleep...
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using our system. I understand that nose congestion can be very uncomfortable . Sometimes it can get worse while lying down due to the position of the congested sinus. You can try to sleep with your head elevated or use nasal drops before sleep. You might want to check if there anything in your bed that can give you allergy.
I hope my advise will be helpful .
