i have been told i have upper respitory infection and allergies. i went to the doc because i had a runny nose and felt like i couldnt breath through my nose. he gave me antibiotics , nasonex and told me to take claritin. he told me my heart and lungs sounded fine. i am still freaking out ,i feel like i have to put in effort to breath. i have never had allergies before so i dont know if they are suppose to affect ur breathing. maybe i feel like this because i am more aware of how i am breathing...im freaking out , i suffer from anxiety too...so i am losing sleep over this breathing thing....has anyone ever felt like this? someone plz answer, im scared...

Can you breathe fine through your mouth? If so, there is nothing serious to worry about. Nasonex takes about five days to work, but once it starts, it works great. Just hang in there, you will feel better in just a few days.

Yes, I was lying in bed one night feeling as if I was slowly suffocating. Thought nothing of it, thought it was all in my mind. I had a deep desire to jump in the car and head to the local beach, at 3am, come on? Anyway the following day I went to the Doc and said 'I feel as if I am being smothered?' He checked me out and said 'You have a serious chest infection' then prescribed antibiotics. I had NONE of the usual signs like cough, fever, sore throat, just this smothered feeling. It is not a nice feeling, but you have to wait for the antibiotics to kick in as they WILL do.

I was never able to breath trough my nose until my doctor prescribed Flonase it works try it and if you feel like you can't take a deep breath through your mouth it will clear up w/ flonase!
