It triggered an anxiety/ panic attack here it is almost 2 am here in Texas and I’m still up. I’m taking Levcetirizine 5 mg tablets already took, earlier I used my flounaise, I read drinking hot cup of tea or coffee....somewhat helped.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Inadvertently using nasal decongestant. I would suggest you to use Otrivin/Nasivion nasal drop @ 2 drops to each nostrils before using the CPAP and take tablet allegra 180 instead of Levocetrizine. Get well soon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. BarunBijoy Bhattacharjee
