- SinusitisNasal congestion is due to the blockage of the nasal passages. This can be most often caused by a cold and it resolves by itself when cold is gone. If someone is having nasal congestion off and on all the time than one needs to look for the causes of chronic nasal congestion. Most common causes of chronic nasal congestion are Allergic Rhinitis or Hay fever and Chronic Sinusitis. Other causes include certain medications and during pregnancy. Some patients may have structural blockage due to deviated nasas septum, where the cartilage that divides the nose is bent to one side. If chronic congestion is not treated it can cause sleep apnea, which in turn will cause several other medical problems.
