Im a 36 year old male who is suffering the same. I cannot believe that a nose problem can bring on anxiety attacks. Ive been suffering perenial rhinitis for a few years now, but its affecting my life more than ever. I sufferbad nasal congestion, but i think the worst bit is the initial reaction: i know im going to get an attack when my head starts 'wizzing' and a few moments later ill have the blockage. It also gets in my chest which can be worrying sometimes. I have never been a smoker but when i cough it sounds like im on 100 a day! Then theres the horrible anxiety bit; head congesting or tight chest, think im gonna pass out or something, then the panick sets in. A really vile condition is rhinitis and when you talk to a non sufferer they look at you bermused! Doc put me on beconase ive took it solid for 1 month, 4 sprays a day but think its making it worse! Is there any success stories out there?
