Two part question:
Part one: how many times a day is safe to use a netti pot amd saline pkts to rinse the sinus cavity to remove excess sticky mucous.
Part two: what can i do to stop this feeling that im suffocating from the mucous forming a barrier between my sinus cavity and my throat. It is really starting to drive me crazy. I already suffer from sever anxiety and panic attacks. I just want this horribke feeling to stop. Feels like thriat is havimg hundreds of small spasms and i have no control over it and i cant even explain it to anyone in order to get proper treatment.

Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
A netti pot is chemical/drug free so you can use it as much as you need it.
The netti pot use will at least temporarily stop the feeling of suffocation but there are also medications like Mucinex that can help.
Is this something temporary that is going on or is this an ongoing issue? If it's ongoing, you need to see an ENT (Ears, Nose & Throat) specialist. You won't need to explain your symptoms in detail; they will know what you mean.
Best,
