Specific question about the occurence of runny noses.?


Question:
I've noticed throughout my school years that students' noses tend to run while they take tests...

This has also happened to me several times (but not always), especially during a particularly frustrating exam.

I'm curious to know why this happens!
Thanks.

Answers:
Ever notice that when you are experiencing tears, your nose also drips?

Emotion seems to be a trigger.

If I had to take a test today, believe me, I'd be emotional.
Well the mucus is naturally and we constantly produce it. Maybe it's the "keeping your head down over your paper" part of it. Gravity takes over so that what would normally drain backwards down your throat runs out your nose instead.
stress?

nervousness?
