Nose blockage esp when sleeping
Have been having an issue of nose blockage for quite some time. This generally gets triggered when when i wake up from sleep. This has triggered all of a sudden in last 15 days. I do get temporary relief when i exercise, take steam or take a hot water, but does not give permanent relief. Also i do feel a sensation inside nasal area when i take long breathe or take hot steam.
Have also ben applying nasal drops both in morning and evening. The effect of this generally resides for 8-10 hours but this again is not a permanent solution.
A lot of people day yoga and acupressure helps. Wanted an opinion on how to go about?

Health Tips
You can try practices like jal neti. Also try to find out any reason for hyper responsiveness of your nose for eg - any fungus on walls/ seepage/ pigeon dropping/ pet hair/ dust/ direct blow of ac or fan in your room. Try to eliminate the cause if you identify any.
Also exercise for 45 mins daily.
