I have dealt with a stuffy nose for more than a month now. It is aggravating. I don't have what I consider bad allergies, but this fall whatever is in the air is bothersome. At first, I took 12-hour decongestant at night, so I could sleep. However, after a couple nights, even that did not work well. I kept waking up unable to breathe clearly, which meant I couldn't sleep.
A friend of mine recommended Breathe Right Nasal Strips. She said they really helped with stuffiness. So, I went to Target and bought a package. I did look silly wearing the strip, but who would see me except my husband? Immediately after putting the strip on my nose, I could tell a big difference. That night I slept so much better. And I could breathe, really breathe, all night!
Now I am hooked. For the last 2 weeks I have used these strips and have gotten good sleep, restful sleep. Anyone with a little stuffiness, try them. I have bought only the name brand. My friend said the generic brand did not stick as well. I don't know if I want to go a night without them. We'll see how long the stuffiness lingers.
I would recommend getting some eucalyptus oil and rub your hands and under your nose. That will clear your senses. Also buy local honey. Local honey is made with the local pollens and air allergies that can help you get used to it and stop your reactions. Another secret I heard is a health drink with blue algae. Wal-mart carries one called Naked, Blue Machine, I think. At the very least you will get more vitamins.
