Congestion That Comes About At Night?

[ajaxinjection]

Hello,

Recently I moved from a place with a very dry climate to a relatively moist one. Since then, I have been dealing with the following:

- A noticeable increase in nasal congestion at nighttime.
- Waking up daily with one nostril completely plugged (the side that I am sleeping on)
- A somewhat frequent dry and unproductive cough.
- Post-nasal drip in the mornings.
- A hoarse, dry voice when I try to start speaking.
- Waking up with crust around my eyes.
- Overall unrefreshing sleep.

I have a humidifier, air purifier, dust covers for my sheets/pillows, and I mouth tape at night, but to seemingly no avail. All my blood work is normal and I eat pretty well. I can breathe fine out of one nostril but the other is about 10-20% congested. I have no symptoms so far. I have been taking doxycycline long-term for acne rosacea. What should I do about this?

Maybe you got sick. It's known that the perceived cold temperature in humid places is stronger than in dry ones. When I was in Spain, I was getting sick easily at 5°C, where in my home country where is dry, I have no issue. That's also why hot humid climates are more tolerable than dry ones.
Being in a humid environment with air conditioning on can easily make you sick.
It's pretty normal to have one nostril blocked.
