I started having this too a decade ago for no good reason. As soon as I’m lying down my nose clogs and I can’t breathe well. I’d wake up groggy, with heavy legs. It also happened randomly during the day, my nose would just start clogging. Or with alcool intake. There is no mucus clogging, it’s just the sinus les tightening and it feels like breathing through pinholes. And when I bend down, I almost always sneeze from my sinuses swelling but again no mucus.
What I’m doing is that before sleeping I’m using a spray that is 1 part mometasone to 1 part xylometazoline. 1 spray in each nostril before sleep, angled towards the opposite eye (otherwise you get nosebleeds) and now I sleep very well.
This mixture doesn’t exist ready made, I had to buy it from pharmacies that could mix medicine (it cost 100$ for a small bottle in Canada… insurance was paying but yeah). In Europe, they let you buy the two ingredients OTC or with a prescription and they’re ver cheap (like 5 eur a bottle). I then open one of the sprays and mix it 1:1.
It has the potential for tolerance so I’m very careful to use it only at night or exceptionally during the day if it’s really bad. Sometimes I can get away with 3/4 of a spray instead of a full spray in each nostril.
Of course check with a doc, but not many seem to know about this recipe. I had to see many many before one came up with it.
