Shrinkingmom 218 Posted April 3, 2013 I was sleeved July 17, 2012 and I have a really weird question. Has anyone else had a problem with nose running most of the time? I got contacts not long after my sleeve and thought maybe that was the issue but then heard someone on here mention that their nose ran a lot. Just curious because at times it can be very annoying. I am a nurse and can not think of a reason this would happen but who knows? Thanks for helping my curiosity!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishingNurse 1,211 Posted April 3, 2013 I am 20 months post op and my still nose runs/ and or I sneeze when I am a little too full. But not in between.... its yours constant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lyndynojo 140 Posted April 3, 2013 My nose also runs when I get a little too full but not constantly. I'm 22 months post op and it has done this from the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mokee 588 Posted April 3, 2013 I would think you both have developed an allergy of some sort. It has never happened to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lyndynojo 140 Posted April 3, 2013 I would think you both have developed an allergy of some sort. It has never happened to me. Nope, no allergies here. It only happens when I eat a bite or two too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishingNurse 1,211 Posted April 3, 2013 Same no allergies here, my surgeon said this is common! 1 DrmBig4Evr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrinkingmom 218 Posted April 3, 2013 Well, now that you say that... it is not constant and is mostly around eating but does happen at other odd times such as when I get up in the morning. That is very interesting that others have this as well. I know it is crazy but as a nurse, you know I was wondering if I had a serious issue! Lol! You know nurses can never just have a cold, it has to be pneumonia, and every pain is something serious like cancer! LOL! We know enough to drive ourselves crazy but not enough to fix it! Thanks for the input so far and I also know it is not an allergy just by the way it acts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL My uneducated guess is that a nerve is getting pressure that doesn't usually get touched, just my guess though. lol 1 Shrinkingmom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted April 3, 2013 I get it too, after eating and 1st thing when I wake up. I didn't really notice it at first - until I saw a question about it on here. Then I started noticing how often it was happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs Havelock 154 Posted April 3, 2013 It could also be post nasal drip - caused by stomach acid irritating the back of your throat and nose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrmBig4Evr 152 Posted April 3, 2013 No clue why, but yes mine does too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Izuri 428 Posted April 3, 2013 If you ever figure out what it is, let me know. My nose runs all the time, especially at work. It drives me absolutely batty. I have tried allergy meds and nothing seems to help it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
