Nasal Congestion

If you’re suffering from a stuffy head and pain in your sinuses while you have a cold or flu, chances are you’re dealing with nasal congestion. When you’re all stuffed up, the simple act of breathing can be difficult. On top of that, you might feel tired and just plain dreary. But what is nasal congestion, exactly? Nasal congestion (or “stuffy nose”) is often called “rhinitis” by healthcare providers. “Rhino” is a Greek prefix meaning the nose, and “–itis” refers to inflammation. Therefore, rhinitis is the inflammation of the linings of the nasal cavity.

Causes

Nasal congestion can be caused by viruses when you have a cold or flu, or by allergens like dust and pollen. These intruders cause inflammation in the nasal passageways, which creates swelling that greatly reduces or even blocks the airflow through the nostrils. In addition to inflammation, nasal congestion is also the result of dilation (enlargement) of the large blood vessels (veins) in the nose that shrink the volume of the nasal cavity and reduce airflow. Contrary to the common belief that excess mucus is the primary cause of a stuffy nose, it is in fact the swelling of the nasal lining that leads to nasal congestion.

Symptoms

If you have nasal congestion with your cold or flu, you will likely experience a stuffy or runny nose and pain in your forehead and under your eyes. You may also feel tired and have difficulty breathing through your nose.
