Why Do I Have Suffocation Sensation During The Night?
Hi, i have a sffocation senzation during the night in the past few nights like i dont have enough air. I do take Afrin few times a day due to a rebound congestion. I tryed to stop use Afrin but is very hard and now i develop this suffocation senzation while my nasal passages are free.what should i do?

hello and welcome to HCM,
I had gone through the case and this suffocation is apparently not connected with your nasal congestion. You should visit your GP or go to a cardiologist because this could be connected with your heart, especially when it appears at night in a horisontal position. But there are a lot of other reasons. You didn't mention your age and weight. Perhaps some stressful situations in your life can also lead to this.
I hope this information has been helpful to you.
