Nose runs constantly when I eat

[Thenthatsthatthen]

Just that really. Whenever I eat hot food (don’t seem to have this issue with cold food) my nose starts running, to the point I now how to get up once or twice during meal times to blow my nose. And then stays blocked/stuffy for a while afterwards. Only started happening a few weeks ago.

Anyone else had anything like this?

I get this all the time and know it is because of my bloody tenacious nasal polyps - had them surgically removed a few times but the buggers come back.
Basically the heat opens up the blood vessels which supply the polyps which means they swell slightly and cause a histamine response.
After cleaning my teeth I can breathe normally for a short while.
I take prescription anti-histamines and steroidal nasal spray which do help but they’re not a cure.
Disclaimer - I’m a patient not a doctor and I could be wrong

This happens to me too, and not just hot food, every time I eat my nose starts running.

My mom and Nan are/were the same 🤷🏼‍♀️

Always have a tissue handy when I sit down to eat.

Me too - has been like that for a couple of years :(

It’s not just me then! DP thinks I’m going crazy, I don't think he notices it but it drives me crazy. I hope it doesn’t get worse-I can brush my teeth with no problems just any food that’s even slightly warmed up.

I get this too, drives me mad!

Happens to me, and to my dad. You’re not alone OP!

Yes, me too. Particularly bad with alcohol and anything containing sulphur.

I get this too, and seem to get a runny nose way more than my husband! My mum gets it too. I always thought it was cos of the quick temperature change (as I also get a runny nose in the cold a lot, or if I'm out walking and it's cold but my body is hot). Don't think it's anything to worry about really, just one of those things
