    Dear monique,

    I have the stuffy watery eyes in the mornings and some days it seems ok. I used to get the breathlessness especially in the mornings but that has subsided. I am currently suffering anxiety and panic attacks which are awful x

    Hi monique,yes I get a lot of your symptoms,the stuffy nose,aches and pains as soon as I wake up,my thoughts get confused,I feel like I can't cope with everyday problems,my daughter has just turned 13 and in full blown teenage mode,there's times I'm not sure who's more hormonal,her or me.Theres times I feel like hiding until this nightmare is over!!!  I ve been taking Bachs Rescue Remedy,it helps to take the edge off the anxiety and I do the honest guys guided meditation on you tube at least once a day or at times when a panic attack comes.Im trying to eat little and often so I don't get that sugar dip feeling. Take care x

    OMG me too I just woke up can't breathe out my nose and I'm boring up. I posted a discussion earlier about this because my ears hurt etc. my body feels heavy I think that's being fatigue . I usually just take an Claritin and about an hour I'm good. I can breathe .

    It does seem to me that meno makes anything you already suffer with worse.

    Also if you start to worry about things it can set off the anxiety.

    I know what you mean about grandchildren, my daughter has twins, I used to have so much patience now just worry about them wrecking my stuff.

    I always felt I must do this or that and these days I just do what has to be done. Try and take as much pressure off yourself as you can and try (I know it's hard) not to worry and stress yourself about anything as that will just turn into full blown anxiety which just makes all troubles physical and the everyday stuff seem worse.

      Golly poor you, I only see the twins about once a month and they are such hard work, my daughter is good with them but always asks me to go with her to help if she is visiting my dad. Then they are non stop, our house fairy baby proof but my dad's is a wonderland for them.

      Have you thought about HRT?

      Last time they came mothers day I found at least I had a bit more energy to chase after them.

    Not yet tried it but Marshmallow tea is supposed to be excellent for a stuffed up nose.

    If if helps you can use peppermint oil under your nostrils, will clear you up great, there may or may not be an issue if you have blood pressure probs, I'd research that first but I find it's the ONLY thing that clears me sinus's OR a xylitol spray, natural and non addictive.

    also pays to note if you have any digestive disturbances, can also be related. Probiotics may help, I'm using one now that clears up bad bacteria in the gut and I'm not waking up half suffocating anymore due to heavy blockage.

    ive had the heavy body feeling, mine comes when im very fatigued and at the same time i get the stuffy nose feeling along with flu like illness, but know i havent got the flu its caused by the fatigue in me, its what also causes the rise in histamine levels, so, sometimes i get a rash especially after comin gout from a hot bath, and that just makes my body even heavier.
