Stuffy nose every morning
by Lou44, Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM
Just about every morning I wake up with a very stuffy nose, which can also come with a headache. I have been diagnosed with cluster migrane headaches, and when I take Imitrex the headache goes away, which tells me it's not a migraine, that maybe it's a sinus problem in the morning.
If I take an Excedrin the headache goes away, and so does the suffy nose. I also notice that if I lay on the side where the nostril is not stuffy, the stuffyness clear up. This happens easily 3 to 4 times a week, and usually between 6 and 7 a.m.
Could this be dust, or a sinus thing? I also think, but not sure, that when I sleep in another room, I don't have this problem.
I can live with the stuffy nose, but can't live with the constant headache that comes with it. Any advice, or should I visit an
ear, nose and throat doctor. Thank you for any advice you can provide to me. This problem really starts my day off on a down side.

Check out: www.allergycontrolproducts.com -- OR, just go to your local wal-mart or similar store to get pillow & bed covers. If you have a down comforter, you may want to replace that with an allergy-proof material.
To be sure - you can get scratch tested by your allergist.
Good luck!
