have y’all ever been laying in bed with a blocked nose thinking about all those times that you took breathing for granted lol cuz me too

[vinayakumarteggihalli]

anyone else watching with stuffing nose

[wyldermcnutt]

Who else is in bed silently screaming cause their noses are stuffed and just want to sleep peacefully

[joshthompson]

For temporary relief, I love to pinch my nose while rocking my head forward and back (looking up and down) for 10-15 seconds. It tricks your brain into thinking that you’re drowning and opens up your nasal cavity allowing you to try to intake more oxygen.

It sounds scary, but if you can try to hold your breathe for a little bit, it works amazing.

NOTHING WORKS THIS DAMN NOSE CLOGG IS SEROUSLY PISSING ME OFF LIKE IF YOU AGREE

[Kanyaoo]

The guy that said do some push ups...

I love you

The demon under my bed watching me do push-ups at 2 am- wtf is this girl doing 🥴

[northernwitch]

I've been stuck with a terribly stuffed nose for the past few days, and - while I usually don't take advice from TV doctors - this surprisingly works. Go figure.

[miurayearsago]

*Dr.* *suggests you press in between your eyebrows, doesnt work.* *Random person in the comments says to do pushups.* *Works.*

The push up actually works. It opens up more airways so I can breathe better but it's not a permanent solution for me. It only take some time after it gets back to being stuffy again. But it works :) also don't blow your nose because it increases pressure inside and that's what we're trying to get rid off. Just use a qtip or a towel wipe to clean it when it gets runny

My poor daughter has been having sinus issues for the last few days. If you only knew how happy it made me to see her reaction when we tried this!
We did this and when we were done she gets a look of shock and says, “oh wow!!”. It was cool to see something actually work!

[MARY-mhps]

Yall in the comment section got me doing push-ups at 3am

[dklfztp]

I can confirm the best method is to hold your nose shut, stop breathing and tilt your head backs really works. It tells your brain that you can’t breathe, and it’s your survival mode that kicks in and quickly clears your nasal passage.

[rubyjimenez]

To whoever said to do push-ups thank you I finally stopped crying at the fact that I can’t breathe

[sadhmansarker]

The person who said do push ups. I'll find you and I'll hug u

[FitFli]

Everyone is talking about the guy who said to do push ups, but who is that guy

[rushgaming]

This is why i love Youtube doctors info made no change in my stuffy nose at all but the random person in the comments telling me do push-ups at 1 am made a difference 😭

[spacecat]

I am actually regretting how I took my normal breathing for granted.

[chisehatori]

I tried it, It didn't work for me. : /

[emilysalinas]

I did 3 pushups and started hysterically laughing when I could breath for 1 minute again
