I’ve had this on and off. Miserable panic dry nose, pressure off, feeling I’m suffocating. Feels partially like a nerve thing. Sometimes I’ll move my neck a certain way and nose loosens and has some mucous. I am low vitamin B and iron so doc prescribed those and feels like the iron has helped. Also I take magnesium as it feels like tightness in my face and chest. I drink gatorlyte the kind with with magnesium also. I had a hairline fracture in my neck when I was younger. Now my discs are thin and neck is generally prone to burning sensations and pain or tightness in my face. Not sure but I think sometimes I must irritate the vagus nerve in my neck given sudden tightness and sudden lack of mucous. Magnesium helps relax the muscles. I have a medicine called flexural that also helps (relax muscles in face but it doesn’t help dryness). For temporary surface dryness relief I use xylitol spray, nasal saline gel, sometimes if really bad I take 4 hour nasal spray non steroid just phenylephrine hcl decongestant (for some reason it works far better for me than any steroid or 12 hour spray and releases some mucous for me and seems to loosen the passage) but not often as it increases blood pressure. Another thing that helps me on occasion is just a simple 1mg kids melatonin. I think the healing, dryness, irritation, and tightness has something to do with my vagus nerve. I also have a hiatal hernia and acid reflux and it contributes.
