VerifiedI would suggest adding pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine as long as you have no blood pressure problems. Hopefully this fully answers your question. Once satisfied please rate my answer. Thanks.
Thanks for clarifying I was assuming you had congestion at night and did not realize it was a breathing issue. In that case you will need a physicians visit to see if your nasal passages are being restricted when in the lying position. This could require surgery instead of being treated with medications. I would suggest seeing an ENT.
