I had a runny nose today and when i snorted my nose some of the mucas went right up my nose and i had this weird pain for about 5 seconds above my nose and am really worried about causing issues with my brain. what should i do and is this serious?

Do not worry: Most likely is of no consequence, the nasal sinus system has a strong barrier with the brain and central nervous system. Sometimes you can irritate a nerve in the nose and have a discomfort like you describe. Use some nasal saline to alleviate the symptom. Stay calm!! You should be fine!!
