    Well, as long as you don't ask somebody to punch you real hard in the jaw, there shouldn't be any dangers or side effects.

    Your nose has a natural cleaning cycle - the hairs get clogged with dust, dried mucus, etc. About every four hours it shifts between nostrils.

    It must have been close to "shift change" time, and you might have hurried it along a bit. No big deal.

    (It's called nasal vasomotor oscillations - that's how your nose cleans itself....)

    You know when you have a clogged ear and you try and unclog it. Well, my jaw hurts from doing it so much, and now I feel like I can't breathe out of my nose. DId I like dislocate my nose or am I just overthinking it? What are some possible side effects of repeatedly doing this?
