HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Feeling anxious and depressed often may indicate that you are have depression and anxiety. These two medical disorders may occur in combination.
Most of the medications that are used to treat depression can also treat anxiety.

Depression and anxiety are serious illnesses, you should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment and treatment.

Congestion of the nose and chest can be related to an acute viral infection such as the common cold. Allergies can nasal congestion as well, if it is allergy related the flonase would be helpful.

It can take up to 2 weeks for viral symptoms to resolve, you can continue to take the medication as prescribed.

I hope this helps
