Exercise Induced Rhinitis

[CopperCyclist]

Anyone else suffer from this? It's where any sort of exercise tends to cause your nose to start to run! Sounds stupid, but I get it big time, and the net would have be believe its quite common. Apparently especially common in 'athletes'(roud:

Whenever I cycle, my nose just starts running like no ones business. It's useful for ensuring cars don't perform close passes sometimes, but other than that, a complete and utter pain in the arse. The second I finish cycling and walk in the doors of wherever I've reached, no more problem.

Anyone else suffer - or even better, suffer and have a solution?

I have permanent rhinitis, rhinitis is not just a runny nose though, if only.

Thats why cycling gloves have a soft back,

]+ 1 I get sinus pain and pressure too, only started 9 months ago when I got back on the bike

You have my sympathy, my nose always runs when I ride in cold weather but over the years I have perfected the art of the snot rocket to the previously unheard of standard whereby on a still day and factoring in the speed of the bike I can flatten a fly at 3 paces.

 

[smokeysmoo]

Yup! Cycling, running, any form of physical activity and my nose is off.

 

[craigwend]

Me too, and worse in the cold weather

I carry a 'hanky' in summer

Nearly perfected the nasal projectile technique, though having a black jacket, occasionally looks like i've been attacked by slugs & snails

 

[mcshroom]

Same here, especially in the cold. Then again I get seasonal rhinitis (hay-fever) as well

 

[vickster]

My nose runs like a bitch on the bike, in all weathers, worse in the cold! I try to carry tissues, but I have to de-snot when I get to the office...I get it all in back of throat too

 

[TheSandwichMonster]

Crumbs... I wasn't even aware it had a name. I thought it was just "normal"

 

[tyred]

Yup, my nose runs something chronic when I cycle. A huge pack of tissues is my ever present companion in my saddle bag.

 

[MattHB]

Cold weather sets me off terribly. And +1 to the whole snot rocket thing... Ewwww

Aparently inhaling salt water in a spray form stops it.

Blowing snot rockets is really horrible and uncivilised - I've been in the firing line and believe me it's not at all nice! Stop being oafs and use a tissue, can't you cycle one-handed?

Yes.

But not permanently. At least not if I want to maintain normal speeds. It's really this bad if you've got it, tissues aren't an option

Hmm. I'm not sure... that seems to focus on relieving a congested - I.e. hard to breath out of - nose. That's not the problem, I can breath perfectly well, it's just runny. To use an analogy it's not like my nose is like a London road at rush our, it's more like Silverstone during a Formula One race!
