My doctor says so, but I am sceptical because apparently I am allergic to dust mites but I can breathe better at my friend’s flat which is a lot more dusty than my place
I suspect it is dust mite allergy anyway and recommend getting tested for it. The test is quick and harmless, and once you have a proper diagnosis, you can take measures to reduce the allergic load in your place or start therapy.

Thanks for your advice! I did a test back in 2018 which turned out positive. I then began to vacuum and wipe the dust a lot more frequently and bought encasings for my bed with no success. I even did a three year therapy with literally no improvement. The only thing that is working is decongestant nasal spray, but of course that’s no long term solution… That’s why I’m sceptical.
Dust mite allergy is decreasing my sleep quality drastically without proper treatment. I have a really high reaction, so that really affects my overall quality of life long term. I only realized that once I changed my doctor after finishing my studies and finally finding no excuses to try to improve on symptoms.
Thanks a lot for your tips. I guess I will try Budesonide nasal spray, that stuff sounds promising!
I got the sublingual therapy. I didn’t want to visit my doctor every month so I decided against the syringes, but it seems like even they aren’t a permanent fix.
I also sleep very poorly and wake up tired despite having enough sleep. I hope some day I can breathe/sleep like a normal person again!
My nose is pretty much blocked since 2017 and the memories of free breathing are fading away slowly…
How? Allergies?

Did you do the therapy with syringes or sublingual?
I had both and syringes worked much better than sublingual (but after 7 years the effect wore off anyways)
Also this stuff works wonders to free my nose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budesonide
