Why does your nose itch after an epidural?
An itchy nose after an epidural is commonly due to the effects of opioids, which may be used for pain management during or after the procedure. Opioids can cause histamine release, leading to itching and other allergic-like symptoms. Additionally, the epidural may influence the central nervous system, affecting the body's response to sensations. It's usually a temporary side effect, but if it persists or is bothersome, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider.

What does an epidural help you on?
During labor. Epidural analgesia, sometimes called an epidural block, causes some loss of feeling in the lower areas of your body, yet you remain awake and alert. An epidural block may be given soon after your contractions start, or later as your labor progresses. An epidural block with more or stronger medications (anesthetics, not analgesics) can be used for a cesarean delivery or if vaginal birth requires the help of forceps or vacuum extraction. Your doctors will work with you to determine the proper time to give the epidural.
