Why are my sinuses clogged?

Question by [[ Raquel ~ Chan ]]: Why are my sinuses clogged?
I don’t want to call it allergies, but my nose will get really stuffed up right when I lay down for bed and won’t feel better until I wake up and am up and about for a few hours. This always seems to start on the tail end of summer. (It’s been acting up over the past week or so.) And doesn’t go away until Fall or Winter, I don’t know for sure. This type of allergy attack only happens during this time of year and during the night time hours. Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it?
Last year, when this was hitting me hardest (I mean the stuffiness wouldn’t even go away during the day time), I took a trip to New Mexico and the further I got away from home, the better my nose felt.
Oh! Most of the time, it’s one nostril at a time for an hour or two then my entire nose in blocked up. When I try those nose clearing products, it does help for a minute or two but then it’s blocked up worse than before.

You probably have an allergic reaction to either goose down, cotton fibers, dust mites or dust. If your house is surrounded by tall grasses or flowers that might be it.

To start, try using polyester-based sheets and pillowcases, and vaccuum your room. Buy a pillow stuffed with Hollow Fibre or Memory Foam.
If the problem persists buy a de-humidifier and use a milk-beaker filled with warm saltwater to flush out your sinuses. (Youtube: nose bidet)

Are your sinuses a part of your respiratory system?

Question by cottonlily84: Are your sinuses a part of your respiratory system?
The way I understood it was that your sinuses were simply holes in your head. Why then is it impossible to breath when your sinuses are clogged?

Answer by Catzi
Yes i think it is, the way your mouth is part of your digestive system. Im currently in Anatomy and we already got past the respiratory and digestive system

My sinuses clog up only when I lay down and it causes me to snore. What can I do to stop it.?

Question by WilliamB: My sinuses clog up only when I lay down and it causes me to snore. What can I do to stop it.?
All day long I am fine. As soon as I lay down my sinuses clog up and I can barely breath. I do breathing exercises to relax my nasal canal, it gives some relief, only one nasal opens up. When I switch sides I am laying on it switches nasal passages. I believe this is the source of my snoring. What should I do?

Q&A: Is it OK for me to jog?I have a slight fever and clogged sinuses that clear up and clog up again?

Question by eatdungumbridge: Is it OK for me to jog?I have a slight fever and clogged sinuses that clear up and clog up again?
So I was fine yesterday morning,and by evening I was sneezing my brains out..but I went for a jog anyway,jogged about 7km and walked 4 km back with groceries.. I want to do the walk/jog again today,but wanted to know if it’d be okay,considering I’ve been sneezing a lot?Somehow running and exercise makes me able to breathe easier,my nose feels clearer for a bit, should I go ahead with it?

P.S – I currently live in Singapore,so the weather’s pretty damn warm all the time,it’s not cold or anything..just some minor drizzles out :)

Any advice would be great!
Thank you :)

Get a prescription… I went to the doctor because I have the same problems. I use nasonex and Clarieden. ( sorry if I spelled it wrong) I also had to get my tonsils and adnoids removed… If your sinus problems are really severe then you may have to do the same eventually. You may also have a deviated septum, ( crooked bone in your nose) which blocks off your nasal passages. I’m getting that fixed too.

Fell better, and its normal to have symptoms this time of year. It sounds like you have post nasal drip.

Try saline nose drops. Salt, warm water, mix few drops in each nostril. Should temporarily help.

Is there anything medical or natural that can CURE chronically clogged (not infected) sinuses?

Question by captain: Is there anything medical or natural that can CURE chronically clogged (not infected) sinuses?
Sudafed containing drugs enable me to sleep at night; otherwise, I keep waking up to switch sides so I can breathe.

My Mom had the same problem–she went to an ear, nose, throat dr. who told her to use salt water in a Water Pick and lean her head over the sink and turn on the pick. It sounds disgusting, but my Mom said it really worked well.

My sinuses just clogged up almost overnight – this was 6 months ago and nothing has changed – is there a cure?

Question by ironwood9: My sinuses just clogged up almost overnight – this was 6 months ago and nothing has changed – is there a cure?
My only relief is nasal spray, and that makes my nose run, and makes me sneeze a lot

Best answer:

Answer by dogboys_ol_lady
be careful, that nasal spray can mess up your sinuss if used long term. When mine get that bad, my docter suggested using saline solution or make your own by adding a teaspoonof salt to warm water. lay on the bed with your head hanging off and use a straw to add the salt water in your nose, let it sit for a sec and sit up and blow your lil heart out. The salt eats thru the mucus….works great
