I swear, it feels like my nose is filled with concrete. I can't breathe through it at all, and when I swallow, I practically choke because of zero air getting through.
I have tried chicken soup, hot teas of all kinds, hot shower with one of those shower soothers, blowing my nose (absolutely no fluid movement from that), a humidifier with the vicks inhalant stuff, vapo-rub, saline nasal spray, etc.
I can't take sudafed or anything containing pseudophedrine because of my high blood pressure issues.
Is there anything I can use to help me breathe better, and start my nose draining? I wouldn't have an issue if it were at least moving, instead of sitting there, stagnant like concrete.
