Why would someones nose plug up every nite, even while sitting, with no cold? fine during the day.

Turbinate cyclings: Often the act of laying down results in swelling of turbinates. Turbinates are radiator fins that run along the bottom of the nasal passageway and are highly suspectible to gravity. Many patients tolerate swollen turbinates during the day because they tend to stay open when upright, however, can expand when lying down without the beneficial effects of gravity. Consider steroid spray treatment.
