I’ve name changed for this as i have spoken to a few people in real life about this and don’t want old posts getting back to me.
So....help! What is going on with my nose?? I just find this so weird!!
Since I was young (a teenager) I’ve occasionally woken up with a scratched nose (1-2times year). Now I’m a life long nail biter so I’ve never understood how this happens. It’s happened when I lived at my parents house, on holiday, at sleepovers and still now (so I’m the only constant! I clearly do it to myself). It’s small scratches and rarely sore so I haven’t thought much of it. It’s always in my sleep though.
A few months ago I noticed that when I’m lying in bed reading I can hear a kind of dripping sound in my head (does that make sense). So maybe sinuses, and that’s why I scratch a lot? According to DH I don’t snore.
A few weeks ago I scratched my nose badly in my sleep. It was so sore! It felt like I’d been punched, it’s was definitely just scratches (not bruised or anything) but they were so deep there was blood on the pillow. DH was away with work so definitely not him. It healed quickly as normal.
Now, I get twice weekly Covid testing and since then I’ve not been able to test properly on that side of my nose. It’s like it’s swollen inside at the top. (I can just about do it properly if I really try hard, but it’s difficult and sore!). It’s been well over a month, I would’ve thought things would have healed by now.
What the hell is going on?? Any ideas??
