Have you tried those little nose saddles that help open the nasal passage? They are wonderful for anybody who has trouble breathing through the nose.
You need to drop the nasal spray because they are for temporary treatment only (not more than a week tops) and if you continue to use nasal spray you will do much more damage than good.

nasal sprays will only cover up (treat) snoring for the short term, it does not cure it or allow for healing of it…

Once you begin taking those 24 hour nasal sprays (such as Afrin), they are very difficult to discontinue as once stopped, they cause a rebound effect where you become even more stuffy than before you began. As someone else mentioned, try those nasal strips, they work fairly well.

Using nasal spray medicine can have a backwards effect. In order to keep your sinuses healthy, you will need to change or supplement with a drug-free alternative.
Try a saline nasal RINSE (not a spray) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It draws out all the gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean). I’ve been doing it at work too.
The buffered salt doesn’t ’sting’ as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot. The special bottle and salt is about $20.
You can do this a often as you like with no bad side effects.
You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. So if you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis. (I put in a link for “what” and “how” – there’s also some good info on wiki)
