Why is my nose blocked when I lie down

After people lie down, the blood circulation of the body will change. Compared with standing normally, the blood circulation slows down. Therefore, people with bad noses often find that their noses are blocked after lying down. This is due to the lack of blood circulation in the nose area and the person's nose itself is not in good condition. This causes difficulty in breathing. Today I will give you a detailed introduction on why your nose gets blocked when you lie down.

Lying down can cause nasal congestion due to changes in body position and slower blood circulation. Western medicine for the treatment of rhinitis mainly includes vasoconstrictor drugs or hormone drugs, which have good short-term effects but can cause drug resistance. In addition, Western medicine has great side effects and is not suitable for long-term use. Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly used for treatment during the remission period. Although the effect is slower than that of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine mainly regulates the body's pathological immune response from the root, which can greatly reduce the frequency of rhinitis attacks and the symptoms during attacks. It is currently a more ideal treatment method.

Because when you lie down, your body position changes, the pressure also changes, and the flow of nasal mucus in the nasal cavity is blocked, and you may experience nasal congestion. This nasal congestion is usually alternating and will change with your body position. This condition is usually accompanied by a runny nose or postnasal drip. According to your description, it sounds a bit like chronic rhinitis. The symptoms of chronic rhinitis are white, sticky nasal discharge and nasal congestion. Sometimes the mucus does not flow forward, but instead flows back into the throat, causing pharyngitis. Nasal congestion is intermittent and alternating. If it is not treated for a long time, it is likely to cause organic lesions such as turbinate hypertrophy or nasal polyps. Due to long-term nasal congestion, you will feel dizzy and have a swollen head, which will cause problems such as memory loss. Rhinitis cannot be cured and is prone to recurrence.

Daily nasal care is very important. You should exercise more often to strengthen your physical fitness, prevent colds, and reduce the chance of rhinitis. For the treatment of chronic rhinitis, physical therapy is the best treatment. It is recommended to try the method of nasal washing with saline (refer to the Chinese Rhinitis Green Treatment Network). This method has no side effects and is effective for chronic rhinitis. As long as you master the concentration, temperature, operation method of the salt water and choose the correct instruments, you can effectively eliminate inflammation and relieve symptoms. This method does not use any drug treatment, so its effect is not as fast as medication, but it is safe and reliable. The key is to persist. As long as you can persist for a period of time, the effect will be obvious.
