suffocatingly
In stifling manner
Suffocatingly describes something done in a way that smothers or overwhelms, whether literally restricting breath or figuratively denying space or freedom.
The word usually emphasizes oppressive intensity: suffocatingly hot, suffocatingly close, a suffocatingly protective mother.
The atmosphere in a room can be suffocatingly tense.
