A member asked:

Is running (jogging) efficient for nasal and chest congestion ? i have chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps, it will be a while until i get surgery

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exercise: While you may need to adjust the way you breathe while running with a nasal obstruction, the exercise has no effect on the sinusitis and nasal polyps. I suggest you use a steroid nasal spray until your surgery.
