      This is me when I sleep or lie down but the nostril wall never comes down 😭

      Nostrils, when the walls fell.

      No joke my doctor told me I should whash my sinis everyday before bed and told me to buy a specific bottle that makes it easier and safer, I did and OMG, life changing!! Just don’t wash your sinus with regular water please!

        Never use tap water it has combined chlorine it (at least where I live it does)

        Probably better if you just use Johnny Walker Blue Label

        Edit : source of how I know the tap water has combined chlorine… My brother has the testing equipment because he takes care of a swimming pool.

        Is it a netti pot? I’ve seen those but snorting a teapot with water seemed extreme to me but I know nothing about it 🤪

          no no, it’s like the photo bellow. My doctor recomended because there is a button that allows the water to go on the necessary speed only, that way it doesn’t allow water to go to your ears and give you an infection.

        Everytime I hear someone mention sinus, I get confused about what that is. Wikipedia says it’s airpockets surrounding the nose. I don’t feel anything besides fat and bone when I press down around my nose. Are they inside the skull? How do you access them?

          Yes they are air pockets inside the skull, that’s why when you clean it you can just push water through one nostril and it will come out on the other, because it fills the sinus. Also, sometimes you can feel you teeth too sensitive because you have something on the sinus above them

          Like this

      Haha I actually brought this up in my comment to OP, but do you find that you have this clogged nose in hotels or other places?

      If not, and you notice it just at home you may be allergic to dust mites.

      I bought dust mite bed covers, pillow covers, and spray and applied them after washing my original bed sheets and pillow covers.

      Immediately that day I stopped having a clogged nose in bed.

      I’d been suffering all my life thinking it was normal to have a clogged nose in bed lol, turns out I had an allergy.

        Hmmm. This sounds promising. I notice that when I go on vacation and sleep overnight somewhere I usually don’t have any problems. Figured it was an allergen in the house but wasn’t sure what. I’ll take a further look into this. Thanks :)
