A member asked:

I have had a clogged nose since sunday and have only relieved it today. is it normal to be used to inhaling strongly and deeply (because if you have a clogged nose you inhale strongly and deeply), is it anxiety or is this something more serious?

Breathing.: Often when someone has a panic attack they have shallow and rapid breaths. Taking in slower and deeper breaths may help to regulate breathing & to reduce anxiety. However, I am not sure about the answer to your question as I don't quite understand it. Take care.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
