I buy the Walmart 12 hour nose spray, it claims to be equivalent to Afrin at about 1/2 the cost. It works, but it can not safely be used every night, I think it should not be used more than 3 or 4 nights in a row, and never more than twice a day, every 12 hours.
If that fixes the problem, even temporarily - then you know what to work on. For me it is an ongoing problem, but I don't make a lot of noise, so my wife isn't disturbed. Good thing, she has plenty of her own problems sleeping.
That was supposed to be that I have NOT heard about Afrin - so thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Thanks Jerry - yes, I have spoken to him about it and he does get congested at night. He just started using just a nasal rehydration spray but I'm not sure if it's working. If it's an alergy than maybe the antihistamine could work, we can try it.
I have heard about Afrin - I will look it up.
Thanks for your input!
Have you discussed with your husband? Does he suffer from nasal congestion? I have night time, usually only when lying down, congestion that causes me to suffer a very sore dry mouth from breathing through my mouth. I don't believe I make any unusual noises, my wife has not complained other then when I snore - which is a rare event.
For starters you might try with your husband taking an antihistamine at bed time to see if anything changes. If it does congestion may be the problem. I don't get results from taking an antihistamine, but as I do have congestion I have used the 12 hour Afrin spray (should not be used every night) with very good results. So that could be another test to try.
