Thanks for the article!!!
A couple of weeks ago my nose totally clogged. It wasn't running. It wasn't doing anything but TOTALLY shut. No amount or brand of allergy medicine, lying face down with my head off the bed (as suggested by my husband to build up the pressure) anything would open it up. If I stood in a hot shower, it would open for as long as I was in the shower as soon as I stepped out, they clogged/closed right back up.
I could breathe through my mouth but I thought I was going to sufficate!!!
I had to resort to nose spray - which opened it up immediately the first couple of days...after that I had to use a lot just to get one nostril open. What ever it was finally went away. But that was actually scary for me because I've never had an allergy problem.
