Why do I have problems with breath when I lay down?

Inside off my nose gets so swollen I cant breath every night?

• Sometimes my nose gets so stuffed up I can't breath usually when I lay down to go to bed at night. Its not a runny nose it completely dry like the membrane in my nose is swollen, its doesn't restrict my breathing it completely closes off can't breath period. I haven't found any over the counter medications that work yet. Only thing that has ever worked is when I went to a allergy specialist he gave me a solution on a q-tip that made my face numb but cleared my nose so well it was amazing never felt like that before and never again. He told me I have a slight dust allergy my house is kept dust free still having problems, later my family dr. told me that solution was cocaine! lol not interested in using that any one else have this problem and found a solution?

• Answer:

  Running an air purefier in your bedroom when you sleep may take care of this for you. These can be expensive and need to contain a hepa filter on them. The combination of an allergy medication or a decongestant at bedtime with the air purefier may relieve your symptoms.
