Our bodies cannot optimally function physically when we are short of breath for one reason or the other. The cells do not get the sufficient oxygen they need to burn energy for various activities in the body.
If you have congested breathing, this could be due to mucus clogging up the nasal cavity or the bronchial tubes, your heart and lungs will have to work more than they usually do to accomplish the same feats that would have otherwise been easier done. This means that you will be unproductive the whole day and more tired than usual.
Not only does this congestion disrupt your daytime routine but it will also disrupt your sleep at night causing you to have an even worse day the following day. The numbers of causes as to why one may get nasal congestion are plenty but more often than not the culprit is allergies.
Nasal strips are a very good way to fight nasal blockage. They are placed outside the nose and open your nostrils to clear the passageways.
To make sure that they remain in place while you go about your activities, they have an adhesive band that sticks to your skin. Due to the fact that the band is resistant, it gently pulls open the nostrils to allow for larger volume of air to enter.
Saline nasal sprays are also strongly recommended for dealing with nasal congestion. It is pushed gently into the nostrils and with a pumping action, it lets go of a decongestant mist in your nose. There are different solutions used by different people in the pump spray to decongest the nose.
The saline solutions are most highly recommended because they are extremely basic and only provide moisture to the nostrils.
If you would rather use medications, you have the choice of going with antihistamines, topical decongestants or corticosteroids.
