Morning symptoms: It is neither cold nor flu if it is every morning. The correct description is nasal congestion and maybe runny nose. It is most likely allergy and probably to an indoor allergen, you need to be tested by an allergist to find out the culprits.

Possible reasons for: A.M. Nasal congestion include: if you sleep lying flat in bed, this gives mucus a chance to pool in your nasal passages. While you are sleeping the mucus thickens & you wake with congestion. If the air is dry in your home this can contribute to thickening of the mucus. Are you allergic to dust mites? They infest your pillows, mattress and bed linens leading to allergic reactions in some people.
