Question : Last year or so, I started noticing that sometimes lot of sneezing and running nose, mostly in morning after I get up.

Brief Answer:
Most probably suffering from allergic rhinitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that most probably you may be suffering from the allergic rhinitis.

For your kind information allergic rhinitis happens when you inhale something you are allergic to, and your nose ( mucosa and turbinates) become inflamed.

Avoid factors that cause your allergies and for symptomatic relief use tablet fexofenadine once in the night.
