Quake3World

My housemate just came home. She had been jogging around a track (new thing for her) and when she stopped, she became aware of this intense discomfort in her nose.

She says it feels like someone stuck two hot chilli peppers up her nostrils and rubbed them around all the interior nasal surfaces.

Squeezing her nostrils shut provides a tiny bit of relief, but not much.

She's in a fair amount of discomfort.

we're gonna smoke a joint and see if that helps.

Anyone know what might have caused this, or any treatment for relief?

She smokes cigarretes also, if that is useful information.

you picked a great day to join Q3W

huh?

running around a track is new or just running? i experienced a good amount of sinus discomfort after a trail run of about 6k. come to find out it that there was a pollution advisory that day and one of the worst. i've not had that sensation since though.

Blood rush to the head or something?

I used to get a sore nose after a certain distance (5km), which is why I ended up sticking to that distance. Apparently it was inflammation of the nasal passages, and there wasn't anything my doctor could think of to counter it, so I just specialised distance-wise. When I'm unfit or it's cold it happens sooner. Perhaps she should just try running until it happens a few times to suss out if it's consistent and pick her distance accordingly.

much appreciated chiQ - she felt a lot better after hearing that

maybe it was hayfever or increased cardiovascular nostril circulation

wouldn't hayfever cause a histamine reaction? She wasn't itching at all, and it didn't feel like allergies. (maybe intense histamine release would trigger such nerve stimulation that it's felt as burning instead of itching though...?)

Inflammation sounds right though - probably prostaglandins (or whatever those molecules are) that get released from vaso dilation?

I remember when I first started doing squats, my body wasn't used to such rapid and intense increases in blood pressure, and the two arteries going up the back of my neck into my brain would start to throb madly. I'd have a terrible headache for days. Started taking advil before my workouts, and it never happened since. I only used the advil for about 8 sessions.

I think they were exertion headaches (or something similar to sex headaches).

Haha :icon19:

sounds like if running is new to her she may have huffed to hard thru her nose and caused the lining to become raw and iritated.

actually, those new to running or aerobic activities don't breathe properly through their nose and more often than not breathe mostly through their mouths.

I stick to walking because its less stressful on the body and the scenery is more enjoyable. I did 5.5 miles on my lunch on friday and had time to take snaps of interesting buildings like what they are doing to the ROM and various old churches that you just wouldn't enjoy as much as if you jogged by, let alone get a sharp picture of either.

So what am I missing out walking VS. jogging WRT to physical fitness??

IT'S AIDS

you're missing out on a better cardio workout, but at the same time avoiding possible injuries.

i do trail running for the added benefit of increased proprioception (body balance) and less chance of getting hit by a moving vehicle

Yeah, I thought there was a give and take to it.
The main reason I don't run is I don't want my tits to sag

get yourself a sports bra

Telling her to lay off the cocaine will help a bit.
