Your nose isn’t runny, but can you breathe easily through both nostrils?
Weirdly enough, I literally can right now. Usually I cannot. I don’t remember the last time this was the case and I would not have noticed without this post.
yesNope, but it’s a feature
Your nose isn’t runny, but can you breathe easily
through both nostrils?🥲
My chronic rhinitis and I will just stay over here…
Idk, given a common cold is caused by viruses, simply limiting the exposure to them generally helps not having a runny nose. Soo, why not be pissed off that you have to be around humans instead
😭 I woke up sick today.
high five (ehm I can’t type emoji)
This is a PSA Announcement:
An orgasm instantly clears out the sinuses. Due to lack of studies doctors don’t fully know why this happens.
Holy crap, it’s true. Instantly might be optimistic, and they talk only about orgasms during sex (although they don’t say other orgasms won’t help), but it’s genuinely backed up by doctors. Apparently it has to do with how your blood vessels react to excitement and exertion.
For best results, get on top since then gravity is working with you.
Don’t work when you smoke weed.
I rarely smoke it (haven’t in at least 4 years), but when I do and sex happens, I can’t breathe and I end up totally stopped up for at least an hour.
I have allergies too though.
Orgasms, exercise and other “arousal” stimuli like fear or aggression make your blood vessels shrink (vasoconstriction). From the link I posted above: “During arousal, your sympathetic nervous system — the one that activates your fight-or-flight response — kicks in. Just as when you exercise, your adrenaline levels go up and your blood vessels constrict. Less blood flow to your nose means less inflammation, so your nose opens up and you can breathe more easily.”
THC can cause vasodilatation, which is the opposite (blood vessels expand) so it makes sense they’d reduce effects or cancel each other out. Fun fact from the same article, it’s also what causes the bloodshot eyes associated using weed.
I’ve lived in a couple of cities in Europe and I can tell you my nose was runny and my throat a bit rough far more often in a poluted place like London (UK) than it is in the small city I live in now in Portugal or the places I lived in when in The Netherlands.
(In fact moving to a small city in Portugal from London hugelly improved of my health when it comes to that kind of thing)
I suspect that the tendency to catch colds and suffer from alergies is often coupled with all the Sulfur Oxide gases around in cities with lots of car polution, since those turn into various sulfur oxiacids when those gases mix with water in the nose and airways.
Me eating something spicy: “I’ll fucking do it again!”
Me, later: Why does it hurt? Oh god I think I have food poisoning. Is this diarrea?
Nope, just the spiciness I forgot about.
Yes it is, I fucking hate autumn and winter.
All i hear now is my nose whistle
I’m gonna be sad now, thanks.
Me too. Allergies can kiss my nuts. I get a break like once every 6 months or so.
Me too. I’ve had a sinus headache for over 10 years straight. I don’t even remember what it’s like to not be congested. Three surgeries and more drugs than I ever knew existed have done nothing. Good health is definitely underappreciated.
…that’s my secret…
As someone who gets a runny nose every time I eat…
Dang
The feeling when you physically notice your cold improving, you can breathe through both nostrils, and you don’t feel fatigued and sore anymore is an amazing feeling.
