Look up Buteyko breathing and nose clearing exercises.

Me getting some serious allergies ever since I came to visit my (pregnant) sister

Praying it IS just allergies and not an infection

And it has gotten bad. Y'know when there's mucus down in your lungs? Yea.

AND she lives in a small town, so the bronchitis pump I use won't be here until tomorrow as it has to be ordered from the big city.

(Kill me)

Dude with allergies here... Y'all are spouting some weak shit up in here.

But also that moment when your congestion clears all at once. Ooof, that's a good feeling.

This meme just made me appreciate my nose is currently clear, thank you.

I call shenanigans, none of the words in this meme sound like blocked nose words

This meme pains me. Have had two surgeries on my nose and sinuses to help this, but I had an S-shaped septum and weak cartilage surrounding my nasal valves. Breathing in collapsed one valve, breathing out collapsed the other, and that had happened pretty much my entire life. So much better now, but my breathing will never be "normal".

I don't know what my nose is doing, but I haven't ever gone a day without blockage in at least one nostral, with overflow threatening another.

But sometimes... Sometimes I can breathe. And it's like I smell ALL the fuckin smells. Do you ever get that? It lasts just a moment usually for me... A half a no minute at most. It's amazing.

[Serious] Did you ever develop any kind of Afrin addiction along the way?

The 2 best ways to clear a nose.

The first is you exhale as long as you can through your nose and then pinch it with a tissue as if you were going to blow your nose. Then keep hold your breath and tilt your head up, then down, then up, then down... Continuously until you absolutely cannot breathe. Then blow your nose and both sides will clear out completely.

The second is to lay down "like one of your french girls" meme, with your head held up in your hand leaning on your elbow. If you are on your left side, the right nostril will clear, and if your on your right side the left nostril will start clearing. This helps get the pressure down.

These work 100% of the time, but for short periods (because of anatomical reasons) but what a relief. Enjoy

Fun fact: the nose has the same erectile tissue as the penis for the mechanism of closing and opening each nostril.

The best way to clear your nose under any circumstances other than being allergic to the solution is:

Horseradish, wasabi, or English mustard.

The spicier the better. Peppers affect what they touch; these things affect your eyes and nose. Eat a huge wad of wasabi and you'll go from clogged to runny lickety split.

This year I actually found a combination of allergy meds that works for me (yes combination, 1 just doesn't do it for me)

It's straight up bliss not having to wear a face mask for a couple months just to not die

Edit: Yes I consulted my doctor before doing multiple at a time. In fact the 2 I'm taking right now (Allegra and Flonase) were the 2 they recommended I try together.

You should check out Azelestine is you haven't already... Antihistamine straight to the brain! Well, okay, the nose. It's a really nice option.

Been in this situation countless times. Everytime this happens I promise myself I will be grateful and enjoy the ability to breathe through both of my nostrils once it happens and yet I forget about it the next day
