Stuffy nose, I need help now!!
Question: Stuffy nose, I need help now!
Can anyone please help me in some way!? I have a terrible stuffy nose to the point where I'm getting anxiety and stress because I cannot breathe!. I got into bed at midnight, and now it is nearly 5am and I have yet to fall asleep because of my stuffy nose!. I have taken all the medicine I can find in the house, but it didn't help at all!. Please, someone help me out!. Any suggestions are welcome!.
I've already taken 2 Melatonin to try to fall asleep, as well as a little bit of a liquid medicine for cough and cold (not a full dose, because we only had a bit left in the bottle)!. I also took a soft gel that was supposed to help with nasal decongestant, but it expired 2 years ago!.!.!. None of these have done anything to my benefit!. Please don't suggest any medicines, because we don't have anything else in the house, and I'm drugged up enough as is!.
I need any home remedies or anything that could possibly help me!. I'm so tired but I can't fall asleep because I literally cannot breathe at all!. Please help!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Afrin nose drops works well (no obvious side effects)!. Since you do not have it, here is what I did!. Get a q-tipp or cotton swab, fold it in half (gently so you do not brake it) stick it into your nostrils!. One end in one nostril the other into the other one!. Like a V!. It will open your airways!. You may need to try gently folding the q-tipps a few times because they easily crack but keep trying, just bend it slowly!. Lay on your side so at least one of your nostrils will unplug!.
When you have a chance go to the drugstore and buy the Afrin it is like miracle!. It does not make you groggy or anything!. Medication which have similar effect like Afrin is Sudafed!. For daytime use Sudafed (not the one from the shelf in the store) but you have to ask the pharmacist for it (you won't need prescription)!. They store the really good Sudafed in a locked area because people used to make "drug" from it to get high!. So Sudafed also works extremely well!. It may have some side effects, rapid heartbeat, loss of appetite dry mouth but it is like miracle!. Just don't try to fall a sleep with Sudafed on board!. That is not gonna happen, makes you feel alert!.
You may do like 10 knee bands or 10 ssit ups or run up and down the stairs!. It will unplug your nose for a few minutes, but ddefinitelywon' help you to fall a sleep!.
Sorry for the sleepless night, things will get better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are little plastic things you can put on the outside of your nose that can open up your airways!. The way it works is that it sticks to the outside of the bridge of your nose, and it has a reflex action, pulling it open!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well I'm not sure if this will help you tonight, but the Sudacare Shower Soothers work really well!. They're really relaxing!.
