runny nose

[mullaneder]

hi i was just wondering does anyone else suffer from a runny nose?i know that it sounds a bit childish but since i was diagnosed i feel that nearly every day since at some stage i get a runny nose.it isnt fussy either.it will appear indoors and outdoors and can appear very suddenly.it can get a bit embarassing at times.the only medication i take is metformin.i dont recall this being a side effect. thanks for reading

Hi mullander,

http://wiki.medpedia.com/Metformin

This site lists a runny nose as a side effect of Metformin.

Dermot, just be glad it's only your nose running :lol: at first Metformin had every orifice in my body on overtime :lol: but I think the most bizarre was the nose drip, and as you say it just starts, no warning I sometimes had to pack tissue into my nostrils just to avoid the toddler effect :evil: Be hopeful, after about 6 months it just stopped.

Along with yawning, I know without even needing to check its hit that

Ah,I always assume the runny nose was from the low dose aspirin so it's the metformin thanks !
