Why does exercise such as doing pushups get rid of a blocked nose?

I don’t think therr’s anything special about it. When we exercise, our muscles need more energy from respiration and oxygen demands increase. So we end up breathing heavier and faster to meet the demands of the body. Since we breath heavier, the blocked nose should be “unblocked” from this.

Please correct me if I’m wrong
