Its really bad. I cant breathe and I feel like i have a loss of air. Please tell me something that can help me relax. I dont want to take medicine either. Unless it gets worse but I cant even imagine that.

Buy some vicks vapour rub. You rub it on your chest, neck, and back. It clears your airways. You can also try a humidifier. It puts moisture into the air, which will help you breath better. Anything that makes steam will help. If you own a face steamer you could use that. Or have a really hot shower or bath. If you eat spicey foods it will cause your nose to run, and make it easier to blow. Eating spicey foods heats up your body therefore helping it to kill the cold in your body, so it will help you get better faster too!

Does having a stuffy nose always have something to do with your body being cold? I know I sometimes have a stuffy nose during the summer and I liv in Arizona whereit gets up to 102 degrees minimum(not literally but you get the point) thank you for replying.

I mean a cold as in sickness. Usually people get stuffy noses when they catch a virus, which we call a cold. Spicey foods heat up the body to a high enough tempurature to start killing this virus in your body.

your health is your responsibility,i use to have trouble with breathing also until i started to take charge of my health,u develop stuffiness from the things that u are feeding from that u need to stop feeding on,i know not what u eat i know not your lifestyle so i could not recommend to do this and do that u would have to start observing u more to understand your system and how it works,u either get and herbal health book or u get to a health practioner to advice u on how to start monitoring yourself to know yourself or else that stuffiness that u have can and will get worse and lead to expensive treatment,u need to study u to understand u.

Your nose can get stuffy from nasal congestion and from your sinuses becoming irritated and swollen. If you don't want to take medicine try breathing some steam or mixing salt with warm water and squirting a little bit of that up your nose.

Get the nose strips that you put on the outside of your nose. It pulls the passages open further than they normally are and help you breathe easier. They really work without using nose sprays, pills and such.

There are a few things I usually do for a stuffy nose. I either run very hot water in the bathroom sink then shut it off and put a towel over your head covering the sink with the steam unclogging your nose. The other thing I do is put vick all over my nostrils and on top of my nose. That works wonders for me. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better real soon.
