I’m guessing it’s from dry air god me but even with humidifier I always have to blow my nose a bunch of times in the morning. Sometimes my lungs feel tight for a while after waking up. This happen to anybody else? Why does it happen for you?

    In addition to other suggestions here (all good ones so far), maybe an allergy? Could be something about your pillow

      Yeah I definitely have allergies. I have a foam pillow and cotton case. Maybe I need to do some deep cleaning in the room or start using an air filter.

        Do you take an antihistamine? I live on Zyrtec and would be miserable if I didn’t take it daily

          I do a spray sometimes but I don’t wanna take meds every day.

              I’d prefer to fix the problem instead of blocking my body’s response to the stimuli.

                If your body produces too much histamine in response to cotton or something else super common like dust mites, you aren’t going to remove all of that stuff from your environment

                    There’s no permanent solution? If you mean the shots, you still need to get those regularly…. And that’s just medication anyway lol

        Check out bamboo pillows and pillow cases, they have natural hypoallergenic properties and it might suit you better. Or you could just get a bamboo pillow protector + pillow case, in case you don’t want to change your whole pillow out.

        In addition to those, consider getting a hypoallergenic mattress cover and hypoallergenic pillow covers. And wash your bed linens more frequently.
