Nose Issues: Advice for Newbies

***IMPORTANT FOR SCARED NEWBIES: Please scroll down and read my reply to this thread as it has important updates!***Nose stuff:I can't shake the feeling that I'm more nasal sounding than I used to be. When I swallow liquids I'm fearful that they're regurgitating into my nostrils. I've gotten nosebleeds in my right nostril since I was a child but never in the left but the past few months when I get a nosebleed a little bit of blood ends up in the left nostril. I don't know if this is normal but I worry it's a sign of nasal regurgitation. The nosebleed is definitely still originating in the right nostril. Another thing that happened yesterday I was eating something with pepper and noticed a slight feeling of pepper in my nose after. My nose often has a strange burning sensation in the middle of the night (like when you get water in your nose).Throat Stuff:My throat seems to stick/close up behind my tongue...I think it's my epiglottis I'm feeling (I can actually see it in the back of my throat when I open my mouth), but if I lay on my back it sometimes closes up. I know its not mucus because if I breath in while laying on my back I can actually feel it vibrating. There is also often a popping noise when I swallow. I have to clear my throat constantly after I eat.
 
Unfortunately, all this stuff has happened to me (to the T) off and on for the past 2-2.5 years and is happening again now. I know it sucks but I've been told many times that it is anxiety related. My dr called it Globus Hystericus.
