Stuffy nose....
#1
Stuffy nose....
Sometimes through the middle of the night, and when I wake up one of my sinuses is completely blocked, once I get up , it clears up pretty quickly. And it never gets stuffy again as I go through the day, or when I go to sleep.My question is , what is the relationship between sinuses and humidity? I have my humidity set slightly higher at 6 on the airsense, and have no runny nose or any other effects that I can tell, but would it help to increase or decrease it? Before I go experimenting,  I thought I would ask here…

Thank you.

RE: Stuffy nose....
Of course, much depends on the humidity level in your room. I've tried a few different humidity settings,
and found that higher humidity will give me the same congested feeling you describe.

So I keep it lower, between 2 and 4, again depending on the humidity level in my room. I use a hygrometer to determine that. About 10 bucks on Amazon.

Everyone responds differently to humidity, some don't use it at all.

That makes great sense, I’ll drop it tonight see what happens… My room humidity is 45% at all times, I have a meter for it on my clock....Thank you…
