Why does your nose get stuffy when you cry?
Question:
Answers:
Blame your tear ducts. Toxins are released in tears when you cry, and your sinuses and eustachian tubes try to drain them away. Because of the toxins the nasal tissues are irritated and swell, making it hard to flush out the tears and mucus.

Seriously.I don't know. I've often wondered the same thing.
Your tearducts drain into your nasal cavity. Where they drip out causing a stuffy nose.
When you cry, tears come out of the tear glands under your eyelids and drain through the tear ducts that empty into your nose. Tears mix with mucus there and your nose runs.
