Suddenly I start to feel that my breath is being blocked from chest side and feel burning sensation in nose.I rush to the washroom rinse my nose with water come back to my room and lay on my bed.I feel like something is swollen is my nose and something is blocking my breathing.I just lay down and try to resist it and think of something else and after some time it gets normal again.I did not had this before it has just started about a week ago and happens once daily.It does not make me suffocated as to hyperventilate through mouth oxygen.It just makes me uneasy and restless that my breathing is being blocked or pressed at the moment.I have felt that this happens after I eat a whole meal stomach full or when I eat at night and sleep and awake up in the morning with this sensation.My sinus are clear but turbinates are swelled due to house dust mites allergy,I have no cough, fever, sneezing, whizzing sound, chest infection, flu , runny nose or anything.I have normal stool and have a normal hunger/appetite.I think that anxiety makes the digestion period longer as creating pressure somewhere which makes me feel that something is pressuring of blocking brearhing temporarily.But I do not understand that when I rinse my nose with water nothing comes out as it is clean mostly.Then why do I feel to start relax after rininsing my nose? If it is anxiety and indigestion then why nose rinsing makes easy? Is it in my head that clearing my nose will make me easy?

Are these medicines for anxiety safe prescribed by the psychiatrist? Do they help in treating anxiety? how much? I have taken faverin(fluvoxamine), Lamnet(lamotrigine), Seroxat (paroxetine) & Seroxat CR (paroxetine hydrochloride) before but did not had any improvement.Someone else has tried effexor, effexor xr & alprazolam for anxiety?
