Before you take everyone's word about the nasal cycle, check if you have dust mite allergies. Turns out I did and my nose was far stuffier and itchier than what should be normal.
I switched out my pillowcase to an allergy pillowcase and started taking some allergy meds. It cleared up my nose a lot and now I can actually feel one nostril only being slightly more closed due to the nasal cycle instead of having it almost all blocked.
Yesterday I bought an air purifier. Today was the first day since the furnace turned on I woke up with clear sinuses! Dust mites and cat dander are what's happening with me I think.
Mine's more closed because I broke my nose in a fight 🤷.
Why did you break your own nose in a fight?
When the opponent is weaker, the honorable thing is to give yourself a handicap.
Lol 🤣, yeah, you could interpret it like that 🤣.
The other guy broke it of course 🤣.
What allergy meds do you take? I also have a dust mite allergy.
Zyrtec and Flo-nase works well for me, but everyone's biochemistry is different. I recommend getting an allergy panel if you have access to affordable healthcare. Otherwise, try every OTC allergy med one at a time.
Here is a wild theory: I have cats and I'm not directly allergic to them, but I found that brushing them helps improve dust mite allergies because they shed less and leave fewer surfaces for dust mites to cling to.
I’ve done an allergy panel. That’s how I know I have the allergy. Also allergic to a type of mold, and willow trees. Sadly, I can’t do the flonase because of very bad psychiatric reaction to steroids. I’ll have to try others. Right now I’m doing 24hr Claritin.
That's a shame that you can't use Flonase. Any luck with antihistamine nose sprays?
Haven’t tried any yet. Unless you’re taking about saline misting sprays.
