Empty Nose Syndrome Suffocation Feeling

Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) is a condition that can occur after nasal surgery when nerves are damaged, which can cause a constant feeling of suffocation even with normal airflow. People with ENS often suffer severe anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, and many describe the condition as so debilitating that they feel they cannot breathe despite having objectively open nasal passages.
