Why in the world does ones nose drip when one is full? I'm not the only one.

Nope, you're not the only one. Took me forever to figure out why mine ran. It's like my nose is crying tears. Has something to do with the Vagus Nerve.....so I'm told.

Yep, the vagus nerve runs along the top of the stomach. It controls a lot of things like hiccuping and nose running. When you cram your stomach so full of food that the vagus nerve gets irritated, you will get stuff like hiccups or a runny nose. So when you get that, it doesn't mean you are full, it means you over-ate a little bit. Just keep in mind how much you ate of that food and measure out your portion so you are sure to eat less the next time.

Happens to me, too. As soon as my nose feels a bit juicy, I stop eating. One or two more bites and I will puke, for sure.

Thanks very helpful. I thought it was just me

That's handy to know. One thing that's happened to me is since surgery I sneeze a lot, at least 5 times a day. Very strange as I have never been like that before.

We are odd creatures, we humans.
