Plz help , Constant Runny Nose Sneezing and Nasal Irritation
My life is hell as of now from the last 1 year , really hope someone can give me some professional advice as i cant really afford a doctor visit ATM.
Symptoms : Runny Nose , sneezing , from 5-15 times consecutively, nasal irritation usually in the flesh separating the left and right nostril. Sometimes it start as soon as i wake up in the morning, sometimes it starts randomly anytime of the day. It lasts from 2-6 hours. After which it sort of subdues.
Duration: From last 1 year ,occurs around 2-4 days a week
Observations : I have noticed it generally occurs on days i don't get enough sleep. Sometimes sleeping for a few hours also solves the problem , i go to sleep i wake up perfectly normal. Sometimes it seems it happens after a smoke or two . Sometimes it seems having a smoke eases it a little. Breathing through the mouth stops the sneezing although the nasal irritation and runny nose continue.
About me : Im a 22 year old male , a smoke 0-3 cigarettes a day , and i have been smoking pot regularly for the last 2 years. My alcohol consumption is very low , generally once in 2-3 months.
Previous Solutions : I was prescribed a nasal spray around 8 months back which i used for around 2-3 weeks . It would solve the problem temporarily but it was particularly nasty. The liquid would run down my nostril to my throat and burn everything on the way leaving a stinging pain and aftertaste that would last for hours , longer than the nasal irritation. It was horrible and i wouldn't prescribe it to my worst enemy.
PS: On a by-note , i don't know if its related by i have been suffering a sort of pain/discomfiture in my the lower part of my lungs since the last 6 months , which is definitely due to the pot and gets worse/better with it . It also gives a stab of shooting pain on turning hard/twisting/lying on the side/certain position etc.

just to update , i have recently started taking some protein supplements , and mysteriosuly my lung pain and chest discomfort has dissappeared. However i still get the sneezing attacks accompanied with runny nose and nasal irritation.
its been like 6 months , so i highly doubt its something life threatening although i agree i need to consult a doctor asap
With the lung pain, you MUST see a doctor. That can be very serious, especially for a smoker - cancer is the most obvious consideration, but something along the line of pneumonia would be more likely at your age.. You should also try to stop smoking as well.
I have other thoughts, but you really need to see a doctor.
