Yeah, this case is quiet common especially in the dry seasons. Exercise causes increase in blood pressure and the ironing causes more than free hand exercise. If there is any weak mucosal area in our nose the increase pressure often leads to such things. I would suggest to stop exercise for few days while checking your blood pressure and taking antihistaminic drugs, prevention of nasal blow and drying and taking good amount of fresh fruits. If still it persists for a longer (aprox 4 weeks) diagnostic nasal endoscopy will be needed.
