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.

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 🤣.

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Haven’t tried any yet. Unless you’re taking about saline misting sprays.
