Nasal congestion

Hi, @patrick1000 - Getting your nose plugged up when you're trying to sleep is not fun. I would like to tag some Connect members who've talked about nasal congestion to see if they have input for you on how you're getting so congested in the middle of the night and how you might proceed @collage @chzuck @celia16 @robbie44 @shooei @dedhambeth @pkalkstein @benchi300 @nrd1 @sueinmn and @pml.

I learned that I was not taking all the ipratropium spray I was prescribed when going through my medications with a nurse. I don't think to take it midday, but it might be helpful.

Is there any chance you are not taking the full prescription of anything?

Another thought is that I believe your nasal spray, which I also take, helps most with runny nose. The fluticasone spray helps most with congestion. Have you talked to your doctor about the congestion and if another spray or medication might help?

@patrick1000
Have you been checked for allergies?

Seasonal my wife and I get severed congestion and it is from environment when tress and shrubs start blooming or dying and/or the wind picks up.

Also have your doctors mentioned doing saline rinses? The rinses can help clean out your sinuses.

I have allergic asthma with stuffy nose, probably caused by allergy to cat. Stuffy nose hits around 7:30 pm. Dr prescribed Asalastine it works but tastes horrid as it slides down the back of throat am only using at night because it is so awful.

That's funny because I use Asalastine from time to time and have never tasted anything!
