Anybody having nasal congestion issues lying down at night?

Posted by Avion @benchi300, Aug 28, 2023

I am having congestion issues at night its been 4 years. Everytime i wake up during the night and one of my nostril is completely blocked , it is the most ANNOYING thing , gives me frequent headaches. Once i stand back up after a few minutes it unclogs...Ive already had two turbinate reductions + septoplasty but it didnt help at all. The nasal sprays dont work no more. If you relate to this post please let me know if some things brought you relief, thank you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

Not sure if you have any other health issues.

Migraine/facial tension all can show up in the nose. Even high blood pressure and side effects from other oral medications all contributing to increased Trigeminal nerve sensitivity which is why steam perhaps feels better for you. More soothing to the nerves.

Many people mistake all kinds of things for expressing in the nose. Using OTC sprays to no avail because ENTs don’t have the nervous system discussion with patients
