A member asked:

I'm gasping for breath when both throat and nose are clogged together, what to do?

Dr. Ben Graef answered

See a physician: Symptoms such as this could be as simple as sinus allergies, or as significant as sleep apnea or airway problems. A visit with a physician would help considerably with this.
