Hi What you’re experiencing sounds like sensory-triggered panic or health-related anxiety. Your brain may be interpreting any temporary “loss of control” — like blocked nose, muffled hearing, or memory lapses — as a danger signal, which then triggers panic-like sensations such as suffocation or fear. This pattern is common in panic disorder or somatic OCD, where your mind becomes hyper-alert to body changes and overreacts. The good news is, this can be managed well with CBT and exposure work that helps your brain unlearn these fear responses. Take therapy.
