What is a permanent treatment or solution for my five-year history of nasal polyps (growths in my nose) and severe breathing difficulties?including times when my breathing temporarily stops?along with sudden chest pain, a racing heartbeat, and anxiety, given that I stopped taking Predmet 8 mg six months ago and currently take Clonazepam 0.5 mg at bedtime?
Nasal polyps can severely block your airway, potentially causing sleep apnea (where breathing temporarily stops), which can trigger a racing heart, chest pain, and anxiety. Since stopping Predmet, your polyps may have regrown. While clonazepam helps with anxiety, it does not treat the physical blockage. I gently urge you to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They can discuss long-term solutions, such as endoscopic surgery or targeted medications to shrink the polyps. Please also have a doctor evaluate your chest pain and racing heart promptly to ensure your safety.
