Did anyone else suffer from HORRIBLE sinus congestion the first trimester? If so, what did you do to help? If anything even did...

Question

Answer

I did!! Really struggled to breathe at night time and then I got worked up about it which made it 10x worse. 
The ONLY thing that worked was sleeping with the window open for fresh air, and rubbing Vicks on the soles of my feet and wearing socks. Seriously saved me! 😂

Answer

I used afrin, but only at night to help me sleep.  During the day, I used a netty pot several times.  That thing works miracles.  Hot, steamy showers also helped break up some the mucous so I could get it out.

Answer

I use breathe right strips when I go to bed at night. They haven't always worked for me when I'm sick with a cold, but if it's normal pregnancy congestion you're talking about, then yes they 100% help and it's worth a shot.

Answer

I’ve been so sick. Bad sinus congestion, an awful cough with mucus. It’s been a week and a half for me. I haven’t taken any meds, but I am slowly getting better. I just blow my nose a lot and drink hot decaf tea with lemon and honey.

Answer

I need help too... I don't have anything wrong during the day, if I lay down, my nose is stuffed, and cant breathe well... No matrer where I lie down. So I already know humidity is not the problem.
