Mucus Blockage
Here on Earth, gravity drains your sinuses. As you produce mucus, it empties through the nose and drains down the throat. (Yes, it does this all day long, you're just not aware of it) When you are without gravity, the gluey stuff piles up, giving you the symptoms of a constant cold with a headache, stuffy nose, loss of a sense of smell and taste. The only relief is to blow but that can hurt the mucus membranes and be very disruptive to your quality of living.
