And with a cough but by about an hour out of my house most of the issues seem to pass. Am I allergic to something in my own house?

It means you’re a mouth breather.

Do you have sinus problems? It could be the position you sleep in. I'm no doctor.

Heater on too high. You're probably getting dried out.

Probably just dust in your bedroom. Likely on the fan and furniture.

Several allergens could cause this. Suggestions: do not use a feather pillow, take a Claritin daily and Flonase (2 sprays per nostril) before bed nightly.

You may be allergic to dust mites. You can get tested to confirm the allergen(s) in play.

Or you have Nose Aids

Just start using nasal spray every morning like I do. Yeah it’s addictive but it’s not it’s that big of a deal being hooked on nasal spray. I can kick it if I wanted to.

This is a problem for most people who are relocated to Louisiana. When I was commuting to SoCal from Lake Chuck for two years, the mornings were unbearable when I was back here.

Truth is that I likely suffered from allergy problems my entire life but didn't know any different until after I was residing back here fulltime.

Sinus infections happen for me at least every other year. It has nothing to do with having a head cold or flu.

Temp of 70 or less at night helps some, not a whole lot. Eating lots of eggs every week all year long helps to. A biochemist friend tole me about what it was in eggs that did that to ward of cold, flu, allergies, etc... but I forget the name of the substance. Claritin made my pecker not function properly when I was 35, otherwise at 64 it still functions like when I was 18. I never take it unless it is an absolute must to breathe.

It could be any of the other things people mentioned (or all of them). One more to consider: acid reflux. If your head isn't elevated, that stuff backs up into your nasal passages while you sleep. Google "silent reflux." Many people have it and don't realize it. Do you clear your throat a bunch? Good sign.

dust mites could be part of the problem, but the issues pass bc your body warms up which causes your sinuses to open up. If you want to reduce the symptoms, avoid dairy products. The hormones in dairy exacerbate the problem.

Don't breath while you sleep, problem solved.
