[|AI|]  Hello, The nasal secretions that come out is a filtrate and not actual proteins like albumin that are important in maintaining weight. So there is no need to worry that you will lose weight if you have rhinitis. However, you lose weight in untreated rhinitis and rhinosinusitis through a round-about way in not having good nights sleep, fatigue in the morning and unable to concentrate through the day. If the rhinitis is bad, I would suggest getting allergy testing done to exclude the triggers and treat with Flonase nasal spray 2 sprays per nostril twice daily for 3 months at the first instance. Best Wishes.
