Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why? (lemmy.world)

I’m guessing it’s from dry air god me but even with humidifier I always have to blow my nose a bunch of times in the morning. Sometimes my lungs feel tight for a while after waking up. This happen to anybody else? Why does it happen for you?

Sounds like allergies/asthma. I would go see an allergy clinic and get tested. If you find you have allergies you could consider getting allergy shots.

I definitely have allergies. I gotta see what options they have besides taking pills or spray

If you have allergies and don't want pills or spray then I think you should definitely try the nasal rinse others have suggested. It literally washes the allergens out of you sinuses. I recommend a neti sprayer as I get better flushing than the pot. The one I used is similar to the one made by "tone life" if you want to search it.

yeah i have a nasal spray bottle that i've used in the past. i'll try that again and see if it helps if i do it before sleep.

I recommend doing it about 30 minutes before sleep. My sinus will continue draining for a while after doing it which is harder for it to do if I'm lying down. Good luck.
