Chronic Stuffy Nose and Anxiety that results in shortness of breath. Is there a relationship between the two?

Last may I developed a stuffy nose and anxiety and both were chronic. I mention the stuffy nose (living on nasal spray) because I noticed that this seemed to come on around the same time as the anxiety. I think they are related. It was so chronic, that I became completely bed ridden for 4 months. From August - October, I got a huge level of healing and I became 90% better as I began to focus on some childhood issues that I had been ignoring. Around the beginning of the year, the anxiety started up again along with the stuffy nose. This anxiety is characterized by shortness of breath. I am constantly struggling to breathe. I am so desperate for help and to make this stop. I don't feel that my mind is racing (until the anxiety starts), I'm not a worrier, a controlling person, afraid of situations, people or overly fearful. I have been living on l-theanine, GABA, Homeopathic pills for anxiety and essential oils. Sometimes I take a xanax and it can help. However, I have one bottle of pills and it lasts me for a year. I just don't like meds, but am about ready to give up and get on some to get my life back. I am wondering if this is not anxiety but rather inflammation of the lungs? I will awake in the middle of the night with shortness of breath, I will have it in the day, there is no pattern. It feels like a plague that I can't get rid of. I have done EFT and it does help. I ran through a myriad of tests last year for lungs and heart. They said I had COPD, (never smoked or been around those that did except for extended family every once in awhile growing up), but I think that's just a result of struggling for breath for so long that it over extended my lungs. My heart is fine..thank God. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Is it inflammation in my lungs because of the stuffy nose symptom? How would I even go about checking that.. a live blood analysis? I'm so desperate and tired of waking up struggling for my breath so much that I have to get up. If this is anxiety, then how in the world do I figure out what is causing this when I have no idea what I have been worrying about as it isn't a conscious thought. should I liver cleanse? Is this an allergy? (Up to now, I have never had any allergies)What about lung inflammation? Maybe this is some deep seeded emotion that is stuck in me. I'm just so tired of looking for a root.. I just want to be better. I am hoping that someone has a similar situation and answer as I feel like I have exhausted every thing that i know to do. I just want my life back.
