Your nose isn’t runny, but can you breathe easily through both nostrils?
Nope, but it’s a feature
Weirdly enough, I literally can right now. Usually I cannot. I don’t remember the last time this was the case and I would not have noticed without this post.

through both nostrils?🥲
This is a PSA Announcement:
An orgasm instantly clears out the sinuses. Due to lack of studies doctors don’t fully know why this happens.
Holy crap, it’s true. Instantly might be optimistic, and they talk only about orgasms during sex (although they don’t say other orgasms won’t help), but it’s genuinely backed up by doctors. Apparently it has to do with how your blood vessels react to excitement and exertion.
For best results, get on top since then gravity is working with you.
Don’t work when you smoke weed.
I rarely smoke it (haven’t in at least 4 years), but when I do and sex happens, I can’t breathe and I end up totally stopped up for at least an hour.
I have allergies too though.
Orgasms, exercise and other “arousal” stimuli like fear or aggression make your blood vessels shrink (vasoconstriction). From the link I posted above: “During arousal, your sympathetic nervous system — the one that activates your fight-or-flight response — kicks in. Just as when you exercise, your adrenaline levels go up and your blood vessels constrict. Less blood flow to your nose means less inflammation, so your nose opens up and you can breathe more easily.”
THC can cause vasodilatation, which is the opposite (blood vessels expand) so it makes sense they’d reduce effects or cancel each other out. Fun fact from the same article, it’s also what causes the bloodshot eyes associated using weed.
The feeling when you physically notice your cold improving, you can breathe through both nostrils, and you don’t feel fatigued and sore anymore is an amazing feeling.
Me eating something spicy: “I’ll fucking do it again!”
Me, later: Why does it hurt? Oh god I think I have food poisoning. Is this diarrea?
Nope, just the spiciness I forgot about.
😭 I woke up sick today.
high five (ehm I can’t type emoji)
🫸🫷 me too (just copy an utf8 emoji from some website, e.g. https://emojiterra.com/emojis/high-five/)
Have bad allergies, those days are not often. Also sucks because people always think I am sick but thankfully a dumb immune system is not contagious.
Everytime I get sick I think about this. “I am going to appreciate my life so much more when I’m not sick.” I appreciate not being sick for about five minutes before it just goes back to being whatever.
As someone who gets a runny nose every time I eat…
Dang
This is why masks.
It’s beautiful
wat
I woke up hungover, happy birthday dad.
Headaches too. Every time I get a bad headache I honestly forget what it feels like to not have one.
I’m gonna be sad now, thanks.
Me too. Allergies can kiss my nuts. I get a break like once every 6 months or so.
Me too. I’ve had a sinus headache for over 10 years straight. I don’t even remember what it’s like to not be congested. Three surgeries and more drugs than I ever knew existed have done nothing. Good health is definitely underappreciated.
What a stupid fucking post. I’m grateful every day I don’t have a runny nose or sore throat as I know how completely miserable I am when I do have either of those.
I think about this every time I start to get sick.
