Nasal Congestion......what works for some of you.

Posted by KC-Mark on December 19, 2001 at 17:37:29:

Well......I am a new patient to BIPAP, and still have yet to wear the darn thing an entire night. My nasal congestion really makes it difficult to use the BIPAP. I saw my doctor this past Saturday, and he gave me 2 weeks worth of Nasacort AQ. He said that after 5 days I should see the maximum benefits, and that if it worked.....I would continue to take it. Well on a scale of 1 to 10......10 being the best in terms of clearing up the congestion.....I feel that the Nasacort worked at about a 3 or 4. Still feel very congested.

What works for those of you who also have nasal congestion.

I do plan on seeing him early next week, when he gets back into town, so that I can try something different.

I wish I could find something that would eventually give the same relief that Afrin does. Whenever I get a sinus cold/infection (I get a good one at least once every 2 years (Afrin clears the passages up TOTALLY!

Thanks for your comments, and advice in advance.
