A member asked:
Why might someone get nasal congestion every time they lay down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: One's nose is meant to be a little congested. So assuming no medical issues that would cause nasal congestion, when one lays down typically the side of the nose that is closest to one's bed will congest and the side that is "up" will decongest.
