Avatar n tn Moved to Chicago several years ago from Phoenix so the doctor suggested that I may be suffering from allergies as a result. Blood test confirmed grass allergy. Have been using Flonase (SP?) for about 1 month coupled with nasal rinsing system but still have the ringing and drainage. Should I be worried about another culprit besides allergies causing these awful symptoms?? In addition, is there any other over-the-counter meds that may be of use. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I generally take Flonase. About a week ago the allergies and sinuses really got a hold of me and i had horrible sinus pressure, felt really spacey, had ear fullness and pain, felt a little off but no ear infection. I got put on a antibiotic. I then just started the Flonase back up. One day i felt short of breath off and on. I also took a Zyrtec. I almost went to the hospital because i felt bad and felt like my allergies/ sinuses were causing it. I also have anxiety.
Avatar m tn There could be various causes of dizziness including low blood pressure due to anemia, bleeding and dehydration, heat cramps, exhaustion, high blood pressure, cardiomyopathies, conduction discturbances,diabetes both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, endocrinal disorders like hyper and hypothyroidism, addison’s disease, vasovagal syncope, etc. since you had back issues, you need to be evaluated for a disc herniation at the cervical or thoracic spine level.
Avatar f tn Can nasal spray make your blood pressure go high?i really think i have a problem with this stuff i never did up until 2 years ago i just don't know what to do for the first time i started bleeding from my nose.im going to try and stop useing it but whenever i do the right side of my nose get's stuff up what should i do?
Avatar f tn ve tried 3 different antibiotics for sinus infection. Also tried flonase, allegra, and Sudafed. Nothing seems to help. I feel pressure mostly in my forehead. I don't have any congestion with mucus or anything. I've had a sinus x-ray, CT scan, and MRI, which were all fine and showed nothing wrong with sinuses. I usually clean my ears out with a q tip after showering. I used to get some wax out, however, after this started, I can't get any wax out.
Avatar n tn Twice in the last six months using Flonase my mouth filled with blood from sinuses. Is another medication for sinusitis available?
Avatar n tn Such as, when I travel south to other states, or east to Toronto area, I feel better. The tightness and pressure is not as bad there. I can get away with just taking Claritin-D and not having to take flonase. When I am back home my symptoms are worst and taking all these meds don't completely relieve my symptoms. Does being surrounded by couple of lakes have anything to do with the way I feel? Also, I feel that when I take flonase my sinus discomfort gets worst, such as sinus pain.
Avatar m tn Every day both my ears get a lot of pressure in them it gradually starts and get's worse as the day goes then let's up late in the evening. I've tried decongestants and nasal sprays with no relief any ideas what's causing this and how to get rid of it.
Avatar f tn I am allergic to nine enviromental allergens and have been taking fluticasone propionate (flo-nase) for the past three monts and it's been working fine to treat sinus pressure, my only main symptom. However, since i started, i've noticed for the first time in as long as i remember that i've been getting thick nasal mucus either dark red or black, sometimes streaked and sometimes completely colored, while before it's always been thin and clear.
Avatar m tn ) All these meds made me sick and gain weight. I recently went to my DR due to high blood pressure and he put me back on the meds but Glimpiride 1mg instead of the Medformin. I really need to lose some weight and my Dr is not into fad diets my? is,Do I start the meds and do the diet or do I just do the diet and see what my stats are? All these meds have scary side effects and say no drinking alcohol but the HCG drops have 20%.alcohol. If I lose the weight will my stats change?
Avatar f tn I went to the ENT today. He told me I have a deviated septum, a narrow passage and a lot of congestion. He told me that Flonase and nasal sprays won't help me much. He wants me to do a sleep study. He asked if I feel tired during the day or have headaches in the morning. Which I do sometimes. I do not want to wear a C-pap. I was told there was a surgery. Anyone know about it?
Avatar n tn My initial symptoms included mild headaches, a fine rash on my trunk and arms, which was intermittent, lightheadness and very high blood pressure. this started in late May and by late June I had been to the ER twice for episodes of feeling extremely light headed and dizzy, palpitations, difficulty thinking, changes in vision and a nearly constant neck ache and as time went on feeling like I was going to pass out.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with a cyst in each of my maxillary sinuses and a badly deviated septum. I have been dizzy, terrible teeth and jaw pain as well as facial pain and pressure. The dr prescribed Allegra, singular, Flonase and Asteleine nasal sprays. I am not having any relief. I was on the Asteline sir 2. -3 weeks now and the other 3 meds I just started. 2 weeks ago I had a ctscan and it didn’t show an infection. My teeth didn’t hurt then just had a headache and pressure.
Avatar f tn Try to get your Chari looked at again by a ns. Unfortunately surgery isn't a cure but it helps tremendously with symptoms. You may have some of your chiari back. If it's allergy related sometimes that can cause severe pressure also. Your best bet is to talk to your doctor. Could be something as simple as changing your allergy medication. Myself personally I have horrible sinus and allergy issues and have tried everything. Finally I tried Flonase and my symptoms majorly improved!
Avatar n tn Bloody nose (consistent discharge of blood when blowing after a shower, ear and sinus pressure build, "medicine head" feeling comes on, dizziness appears a few days later along with consistent pressure in the head, feeling of drainage in the throat (pressure is still there during all this) pressure can't be cleared either using the Valsalva method or really anything, pressure starts to go away, a massive headache ensues for another few days and then all is well.
Avatar n tn My CT scan (no dye contrast) was clear and my doctor prescribed me Vitamin B2 with Magnesium and to take flonase, but I think I need another scan or to do a balloon sinusplasty to see relief. Has anyone else had similar issues and if so what did you do to resolve it? Thanks!
Avatar m tn This is a question but also maybe an answer. I am being totally serious about everything I say! I had an OVERWHELMING need to itch my scrotum and anal area. It wasn't like any itch I have ever had before. The itching was overwhelmingly euphoric when I itched area. I mean I could feel it though my entire body. I tried powders, creams,etc. Nothing worked and I was too embarrassed to even go to Doctor. I never really itched it either it was more pressure digging action. The itch felt internal.
Avatar n tn Throughout I have been doing the Netti Pot twice a day and using Flonase. First sinus infection and rarely have headaches. Neither have I ever had a history of high blood pressure, which is now all over the place. One day it was 165/106, the next morning it was back down to 110/73! Is surgery to clear it out my best option?
Avatar n tn He told me to take Claritin D and he prescribed Flonase. I started taking/using both, and the pressure eased up a little bit, but it was still there. At that time, I was also experiencing some sinus pressure. That seems to have lessened. Fast forward to now - I went to the doctor because my neck was swollen on the left side and I could feel a large lump. She kind of brushed it off, but I asked for an ultrasound, which showed that I have 3 "cystic nodules" in the submandibular region.
345124 tn?1234483278 ve been on Claritin and flonase and still feel dizzy with pressure only in my left ear. I get dizzy then anxious . I even went on prize c to help but I went off after 3 days bc of the mood swings. So glad to hear I'm not crazy and others feel the exact same way as me. I got back to ent next Thursday for revaluation bc I think spring allergies are kicking in line crazy now. Everytime I get anxious my ear feels fuller. Making me crazy!!
Avatar f tn ve had nose pain in my right nostril that causes forehead pain/pressure and pressure behind my eye and eyebrow. Usually, the pressure/pain stays on the right side, the side where my nose also hurts. I've looked at it and it appears the nasal turbinate is inflamed/irritated compared to the one in my left nostril. It does hurt to touch that side of my nose. I don't exactly know what is causing it, but the pressure gets worse when I go running outside.
Avatar m tn Thank you for sharing your comments with me. My ENT has me on Flonase and suggested ear tubes as a last resort. I can accept living with the ringing if I can get rid of these other symptoms, the congestion, the "wet" ears and the sound sensitivity. Glad to know I am not alone and I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for you as well.
Avatar f tn For example, when i tell someone a stressful story or when i get really angry, I can feel the blood rising into my head and some pressure, then my head starts to pound. I have to stop, take some deep breathes, and try to relax. Also, yesterday I went to the gym to workout on the machines. When I start to intensify the reps, I held my breath to push that last couple of turns. I felt some pounding rising in my head. I immediately stopped and walked around for a bit.
Avatar m tn Hi, everyone! I'm a 33 year old female. When I was 16, I began experiencing dizzy spells and migraines. I had an MRI and was found to have white matter lesions. My neurologist shrugged it off, saying "migraine syndrome with aura," and m ENT said "probably BPPV." Since then, I've been able to control my symptoms with meclizine, high doses of ibuprofen, birth control (rule out hormonal migraines!) and, basically, a "positive state of mind.
Avatar f tn I have a history of Asthma, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea and Sero-Negative Rheumatoid Arthritis. My best peak flow is 500. I am a 56 year old woman and was not on any preventative asthma meds at the time of catching the cold and development of the sinus infection. I am on Plaquenil 400mg Metoprolol Tartrate 50mg BID, Proventil HFA 2puffs every 4 hours, Flovent Diskus 250mcg (started one week ago), Nasonex, Augmentin 875 BID.
Avatar n tn Started out with pain and ringing in the left ear, swollen gland behind it. Then moved to the right ear. Accompanied with a sinus infection and severe sinus pressure. Sinus infection has went away, glands are no longer swollen, still crunching and ringing in both ears. My doctor put me on a round a antibiotics and didn't help. ENT doctor said it was tinnitus, although I have no hearing loss. A few friends and my father in-law had this exact same thing as well.
Avatar n tn My face feels like it is going to explode from pressure, my nose constantly runs, my throad gets sore a lot, and my ears hurt. I had surgery two years ago to remove tissue from my nose to enlarge my sinuses and it did help...but now I am back to square one. I take Zyrtec, Flonase and anything else to help, also have been on COUNTLESS antibiotics. I also have asthma and it is making it flare up. I use my inhalers and Singulair for that regularly.
Avatar m tn I used flonase for a week and got better with my cough and then I stopped. Afterwards my cough came back and I saw a doctor and he told me do not use flonase which makes me cough. I am confused?
