My room is in the basement and for some reason my nose gets really stuffy when I stay in my room for long periods of time.
I have a dehumidifier: what would be a good humidity level to keep the room? Some days it is really hot down here and some days it's nice and cool depending on the weather.

I agree with the comments above indicating that you likely have an allergen issue. Moisture alone doesn't typically result in respiratory distress. Lack of moisture can certainly be irritating, however.
