Hi all, My husband has MSA and he has a runny nose after everything he eats. He has tried anti-histamines but they don't make a difference. Is this something usual that comes with MSA and would anyone know what may cause it? We have asked neurologists but they don't have a clear answer. Thank you.

I did a search and AI answer says although not a typical symptom the autonomic dysfunction can affect nasal secretions causing a running nose. Do an internet search, I have seen it before on different sites. Hugs and prayers for you and your husband.
I suffer with this too! Its by particularly bad after eating and showering. My GP prescribed me a nasal spray. Good luck to both of you xx
This may be a sign he is aspirating food into his lungs which can lead to pneumonia. A modified barium swallow study by a speech language pathologist would be able to see if this is the case.
