Don’t let nasal congestion slow you down — learn how allergens can cause allergy symptoms such as a stuffy nose and how to find relief.

While many people believe nasal congestion is caused by excess mucus, inflamed blood vessels in the nasal passage are actually to blame. If you breathe in a substance you’re allergic to, your nasal passages can become swollen, causing a plugged or stuffy sensation. You may also experience a runny nose or nasal discharge.
