Runny Nose

I had suffered from a similar problem for a few years, a runny nose when I first get up which lasts about a half hour. Didn't always happen though.

Local GP diagnosed it as an allergy to house mite dust and prescribed me a nasal spray called "Becanase".

That was a steroid based spray. Only use it occasionally now as the problem seems to have largely subsided. It could be that my frequent house moves have simply put me in a less dusty environment.

I would always suggest a visit to the GP - and make sure he knows you fly and that anything prescribed won't affect you.
