The way people have described not having any sensation breathing through their nose - I feel like I have that. My nose is also very numb feeling. And I have dryness & frequent swelling. Also certain pains and uncomfortable feelings, and pressure when bent over. 

The suffocation I do not think so. The way some people here have told it, they feel like they can't breathe at all. Mine is more that I can't feel the breathing. And it's a feeling I can live with. The things I can't live with are the symptoms  that I thought might be a result of my nasal problems.

So I guess I'm hoping I have something less severe than ENS.
