General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history which is suggestive that you might be suffering from allergic as well as a typical form of rhinitis called as vasomotor rhinitis.
In this condition the vasculature of the nose and the areas around responds differently to emotional stress and anxiety.
Here the treatment can be surgical or medical.
Medical treatment contains the antidepressants or mood elevator. This helps dramatically.
Local neurectomy of the vidian nerve can help.
Consult an ENT Surgeon who is trained in such cases so that you can get a permanent relief.
I find this answer helpful
