Just wondering if anyone else has had this as was so weird. About a week ago I woke up with my nose totally swollen inside. I could breathe through it but the nostrils felt so swollen and stuffy. We were on holiday in a different area of England to where we live and I thought it was hayfever so some kind of pollen from different farming and crops and maybe the heatwave making it worse. But even before I took meds I became hugely hugely anxious and jittery, like I was going mad. I could only pace around and fret. Meds helped a bit making nostrils a bit less swollen and Sudafed definitely helped. By yesterday though my whole face was heavy and I clearly had a sinus infection, for which I now have antibiotics.
But I have had hayfever and allergies before, and also sinusitis before, and never had this kind of anxiety panic reaction. Is it normal? It was awful and I want to come up with an action plan to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
It wasn’t the meds making that reaction as the anxiety and jitters came before I started the meds.
