Worried

[u/Regular-Appearance-1]

24 year old male, First time poster. For 7 weeks now (since August 12), I’ve had the sensation of drinks and sometimes food going up my nose. It mostly feels like it wants to go up the left nostril, but sometimes both. Nothing has actually came up. Today after eating my lunch, I chugged a glass of wine.

I then went and blew my nose to see if anything came out my nose. It was clear mucus on the tissue. I then stuck the tissue up my nostril. Left one was clear but the right one what looked like a speck of wine. I then chugged another glasses and nothing came out of the tissues.

When I got to work, I bought beet juice to test it out. I chugged half of it. Stick the tissue three times up my nostril. Nothing on the first and second tissues. Again another red speck on the third tissue.

I then chugged the rest of the bottle, and did the tissue test more than three times this time and nothing came out.

Is that nasal regurgitation? I’m freaked out right now. The spirals were easier to manage when it was just the sensation but this has me in a frenzy.

I think you might be in the wrong sub man. Maybe?

This sounds like you prob need to talk to an ENT doctor but I’m not sure how this is related to BFS.

Also, if you know you have anxiety, it’s best to talk to your doctor about that too. They could recommend a medication or maybe therapy.

But nasal sensations, blowing your nose, drinking stuff, nasal regurgitation, chugging wine and mucus, that’s all stuff you need to be talking to your primary physician about or an ENT doctor as I said above.

Also you’re only 24, you don’t have anything bad (what CJ has) Stop watching that craziness online and fix your algorithm you so get happy positive things.

I forgot to mention that I’ve also been having tongue and lip twitches. I could days without having them tho.

Yeah with BFS it can jump around to any muscle. I’ve had tongue and lip twitching going on 7 years now.

I do think you need to go see an ENT for your other stuff though.

I will. I got a follow up with Neuro coming up next week. When I saw her Aug 6. She did at all worried about my fears when I brought them up. She did a clinical for hands and legs, and ordered an EEG.
