Sleep Better Despite a Stuffy Nose: Glendale ENT Solutions
Dry air, seasonal allergies, colds, acid reflux, or a deviated septum can make it difficult to sleep due to nasal congestion. Fall’s fluctuating temperatures can worsen sinus issues, leaving many struggling to breathe comfortably at night.
Common Causes of Nasal Congestion
-
Allergies: Dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold irritate nasal passages.
-
Colds & Flu: Respiratory infections cause sinus pressure and blockages.
-
Acid Reflux: Stomach acid can irritate nasal passages when lying down.
-
Deviated Septum: Off-center nasal cartilage can block airflow and cause chronic congestion.
Tips for Relief
-
Sleep Upright: Use high pillows, a recliner, or adjustable bed to improve sinus drainage.
-
Humidify Your Room: Moist air soothes inflamed nasal passages.
-
Use Nasal Sprays Wisely: Limit decongestant sprays to 3 days to avoid rebound congestion.
