    you’re not going to die. You are experiencing anxiety. anxiety cannot kill you. you can reduce the congestion by breathing in some humidity such as in the shower. There’s also over-the-counter Products for that.or put a warm washcloth over your nasal area.you need to stop telling yourself that you can’t breathe. that will increase anxiety. Slow down and try to reduce the congestion. You’re going to be OK !
