Nasal congestion can be more than an annoyance when it starts to disrupt your sleep. So, what's the underlying cause of a stuffy nose? - via healthing_ca healthing health nasal
“During the day, you are typically up and walking around or sitting in a chair,” he says. “So the blood flow distribution in the body is more into the lower extremities, the hands, the feet, your abdomen, and the blood flow into your nose is somewhat reduced during the day.”
If you don’t have clear nasal breathing, there’s a domino effect on your health, says Chin. “You can’t really smell very well. And if you can’t smell, then often your sense of taste is impacted. And when you’re sleeping, if you’re not breathing well through your nose, then you have to open up your mouth. Your mouth dries out and you get a sore throat and you have very disruptive sleep.
Another possible cause of nighttime congestion is an infection that comes on relatively quickly where you also experience fever, facial pain and the runny discharge from your nose. The most common cause is viral — like COVID-19 — that can also knock out your sense of smell. Viral infections will heal on their own in a couple weeks. Bacterial infections cause similar symptoms, but require antibiotics to clear up, so see your doctor if symptoms don’t improve.
Beyond that, he recommends seeing your doctor for medical therapy like prescription steroid sprays, for example, or a referral to a specialist to consider surgery. A small incision typically inside the nose is made to remove the deviated segment of cartilage which improves nasal breathing significantly.
