Vasomotor rhinitis is a term often used to describe rhinitis symptoms associated with nonallergic, noninfectious triggers. Vasomotor/non allergic rhinitis is quite common, and has high prevelance in people who have ME/CFS and fibromyalgia.1

 Environmental triggers that affect vasomotor rhinitis patients may include strong odors, cold air exposure, alcohol ingestion, and/or spicy foods.2

Avoidance of triggers combined with topical nasal medications is the foundation of treatment.
