I cant sleep due to nasal passage blocking when i lie down
Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
I have the same thing and I have to sleep on the unblocked side and I also use any time of menthol product to relieve the discomfort. My ENT said I have a small perforation in my septum but it's very difficult surgery so he wouldn't recommend it. I already had my septum deviation fixed several years ago and I am not willing to go through anything like that again!!! Hopefully the ENT can help you!!

@neisie13 You mention the unblocked side in order to sleep. I have a similar problem and have discovered that my left nasal passage slightly collapses when I lay on my right side. You can test this theory for yourself by laying on your side that blocks the airflow and just pull the side of the blocked nostril away from your face to open the airflow and see if it helps. If it does, there are silicone nasal vent dilators on Amazon that are inexpensive and work well.
