Hypothyroid: Hypothyroidism can cause nasal congestion, acromegaly from too much growth hormone causes progressive thickening of skin and nasal tissues along with enlargement of hands and feet, rhinitis of pregnancy causes nasal congestion from either Progesterone or placental growth factor. Poor sympathetic tone from lack of physical conditioning can also cause nasal congestion. Asthmatics have congestion.
