Blocked Nose at Night or When Lying Down

by Derek Horrigan

Hi, I have a blocked nose at night and if i lie on my back for a while. I had surgery and it helped a bit. But now it's getting worse. Is there anything that i can do? Regards, Derek

Hi Derek, yes, there are a number of simple, safe methods you can try for your stuffy nose, such as the Nose Rub self-massage technique and acupressure.

The above link also shows you some natural remedies to clear your sinuses, and a superb breathing exercise that clears all your airways, including your lungs. Also on that page are some suggestions for eliminating possible dietary causes of blocked nose.

Any questions please post them.

All the best,

Matthew

Blocked Nose and Sneezing
by: pinku

I always have a problem of blocked nose especially at night time and I start sneezing when i wake up in the morning. In this situation what should i do?

Matthew's reply: Pinku, it is difficult for me to know without more details. Maybe you need to look at the air quality in your bedroom at night. Is your bedroom stuffy at night? Do you sleep with fresh air coming in through a window or with an air conditioner on? An air purifier may help you.

All the best,

Matthew
Blocked nose at night.
by: Furqan

Hi there. I'm 15 years old and I'm getting a blocked nose when I go to lie down in bed at night. Through the day in the morning and evening I have one nostril blocked permanently and one is sometimes fine. It has been bugging me for about for a long time now and I wanted to find a solution. I'm a boxer and have had a few bloody noses in the ring as well. Please help me I'm getting no sleep at night. Thanks.

Matthew's reply: I suggest you get your nose examined first by a doctor. There are various causes of blocked nose. Perhaps your nose has been damaged through trauma (boxing), perhaps there is a dietary cause (like eating too much mucus forming foods like dairy), etc.

One very good way to clear a blocked nose is by using a neti pot. It's a small pot, like a teapot, that you fill with warm salty water and slowly pour into each nostril to clear out your nose and sinuses.

There is an article on my site that shows you

acupressure points for blocked nose and how to use a neti pot.

Hope this helps.

Any further questions about using these techniques to clear a blocked nose, let me know.
