Suggest Treatment For Chronic Nasal Congestion

I have had continuous nasal congestion for probably a year now. I m able to clear it but it takes a lot of blowing and results in bleeding. The discharge is hard chunks yet very sticky. I live in a very dry climate and the elevation is around 5000 feet. I take a regular aspirin everyday as I supposedly have a blood coagulation condition. A long shower usually helps me clear my nose easier. What can I do to ease this situation?
