Can chronic rhinitis cause mild sleep apnea? my apnea hypopnea index is 8, and both nostrils are always at least partially blocked due to deviated septum. what can i use on a regular basis to clear my nasal airflow?

Keeping the nasal passages clear with nasal saline and avoiding allergic triggers such as dust is recommended. Avoid smoke and the condition may be associated with disrupted breathing during sleep.,
