Does Dropping Barometric Pressure Make Your Nose Run?
I’m asking this question as my nose is running and the pressure is dropping for tomorrow’s rain.
Google AI told me this.
Yes, a drop in barometric pressure can make your nose run, as it can cause sensitive nerve endings in your nasal passages to react, leading to swelling of the blood vessels. This can result in congestion, a runny nose, and post-nasal drip.
How it happens: When the atmospheric pressure changes, the pressure in your sinuses no longer matches the pressure outside your body. This difference can trigger a reaction in the nasal passages.
Nasal response: The nasal tissues may swell and sinus drainage ducts can become blocked in an attempt to equalize the pressure. This irritation can lead to symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose.
Other factors: This reaction is often more pronounced when barometric pressure changes are sudden or combined with other weather changes, such as rapid shifts in temperature or humidity.
My left eye is also painful.
I also should note, that a very experiences eye surgeon once told me, that I had the driest eyes he’d ever seen.
Don’t Live In Islington If You’re A Pedestrian!
On Sunday, I went to lunch with my son in Walthamstow.
To catch the bus, I have to negotiate these these traffic lights at Southgate and Balls Pond Roads.
Note that to operate the lights, you must push the button to cross.
As I reached forward to push the button to cross, a car came racing up from Dalston Junction.
- Seeing me standing there with my hand forward, he thought it would be funny to give me a good splashing, which he did by going through the deep water.
- His girlfriend was laughing as she passed close by me in the nearside seat.
- Unfortunately, I didn’t get to read the car’s registration number.
- But I did see the Tesla logo on the boot.
If I had though, judging by the look of the guy and his girl, he might not have been the sort of guy, you report to the police.
What really annoyed me, was having to walk back to my house to change into dry clothes.
I do hope though, that the Borough of Islington fix the levels of the roads to eliminate the flooding.
But they are not good as street presentation as I wrote about in Islington Socialism At Work!
England And Australia Draw T20 Series After Washout
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
England and Australia’s T20 series ended in a draw after the third match at Old Trafford was washed out.
This is the first paragraph.
Heavy rain throughout the day in Manchester prevented any play and the series ends 1-1.
Who was the idiot, who decided to have a series decided, in a city, where it always rains?
It’s not bright in London, but they could have had a game in my road.
A Funny Wet Week
I’ve had a funny few days as regards my health.
Tursday morning, my INR was 2.1.
On Friday night, I wasn’t sleeping very well and got up at three on Saturday morning. But after a couple of mugs of tea, I was feeling a lot better.
I had my usual Saturday morning breakfast in Leon on Moorgate, but I did get slightly confused with my shopping in Marks & Spencer. I put this down to my eyesight having an off day. Is that normal after two cataract operations?
I slept better on Saturday night! But was this because I went to bed before instead of after Match of the Day and then watched it on Sunday morning.
On Sunday morning, I went out to do a bit of shopping, but it was really just to get out and then it was walking in the pouring rain.
Monday was a quiet day, after breakfast in Leon on Moorgate, I wrote for most of the day. My INR was a bit low at 2.2.
Tuesday morning, it was a repeat of Friday night and I got up at four and had a couple of mugs of tea. It was another breakfast in Leon on Moorgate and a visit to M & S. After I returned, I wrote for most of the day, as it was too wet to go outside.
In the afternoon, I started to get a bit unsteady on my feet and even thought about calling 999. But after two mugs of tea and a can of Adnams, I regained my balance and never fell. My blood pressure was fine and the only unusual thing, was that my left food was quite red. But it does this sometimes.
Wednesday was uneventful and I had lunch with a friend at Cote in Sloane Square.
Today, Thursday my INR is down to 2.
I feel OK, but it does seem, that for some reason my INR has tended to slump during the week.
I just wonder if my leaky skin, just lets water out, which surely must lower the INR.
Does my foot go red, as the red blood corpuscles are too big to get through my skin?
When Are We Going To Get Some Rain?
It’s now over a month since I experienced any rain and I feel totally crap, with a very dry month and I suspect dry lungs as well.
I drinking lots of 0.5% alcohol beer, tea and lemonade, but it all seems to make no difference!
I need a right royal downpour, so I can walk around in it.
