Anyone know why I've had a blocked nose for a few years?!
Question: For at least the last two years I've had a blocked up nose, some days one nostril becomes unblocked, but most of the time it's blocked, making me unable to breathe through my nose, I also feel tired all the time, no matter how much I sleep.
I'm on Flixonase Aqueous Nasal spray, and Cetirizine Dihydrochloride, both have failed to help, I'm getting refered to the ENT (Ear Nose Throat) doctor soon, but this may takes some months before I get an appointment.
Anyone know a reason for my blocked nose?

Nasal sprays and antibiotics only give you a bit of short term relief and nasal sprays can actually damage your sinuses.
Switching from mucus generating dairy products and red meat to soy milk and white meat will certainly help.
Taking 6 high strength odourless 3,000 mg garlic oil capsules (Herron) every day will help. Garlic is both an antibacterial agent and an antimicrobial agent and is very good for people with sinus problems.
Apple cider vinegar every day helps a bit as well.
You're cursed with what is known as a "really big booger".
Pick it.
I would stop the nasal spray. That can lead to clogged nose.
You could suffer from chronic sinusitis, allergies or have scar tissue built up due to sinus problems.
In my case, it turned out to be tumors due to them spreading from the brain.
I would check with an ENT and then get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion.
Good luck!
Have you ever suffered from nose bleeds. It could be that you have had "foreign matter" blocking your breathing passages. Otherwise it's possible you have a problem with your septum (the division between nostrils).
People who use cocaine have occasionally developed a problem in this part of the nose.
Hmmm, that's sure a problem...In my family, lots of people had similar problems with congestion, fatigue, and the like... For many years, my mother especially, experienced these symptoms for many years. She finally whent to the doctor and got tested for food allergies; it turned out that she was a celiac. She was allergic to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. This is a disease that dosen't always show up the first time, and every one reacts differantly...it may be worth a trip to the doctor to get a test done...
