Asthma is not being able to get your breath to varying degrees from a bit puffed to going blue, not nasal.

Ta for that

I have no idea about side effects for your medicines but you can get various solutions for nasal problems and it's probably worth seeing your GP. You could rule out an allergic reaction by taking some anti-histamines and seeing if it stops. You can also buy over the counter nasal sprays.

Are you on statins?

I had a lot of side effects on them, but runny nose is new to me!

Doesn't sound like asthma to me either, though.

Have you checked the known potential side effects on the leaflet that comes in the pack with the pills? Otherwise ask your doctor. ACE inhibitors for high BP commonly cause cough, check leaflet for other respiratory irritations, yep tick apparently for rhinitis

What BP med using? Does the name end in pril (that's a ACE if so). Discuss alternatives with GP

Asthma wouldn't be an issue, after all, most professional cyclists are asthmatic!

It could also be hay fever.
