Flonase and dizziness
Common Questions and Answers about Flonase and dizziness
flovent
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.
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.
ENT said eustachian tube dysfunction due to allergies (tested positive for various inhalent allergies) and said to use Xyzal and Flonase. Xyzal made me too sleepy so stopped, and Flonase has done nothing. ENT said it would take Flonase a month to clear up the ETD. The constant ear popping wouldn't bother me if it weren't accompanied by the lightheadedness and brain fog, which sometimes by the end of the day turns into a very bad headache and then disappears.
After flying at the tail end of a cold last February, I have had popping in my left ear. I usually wake up with my left ear feeling a bit plugged, also. This flight caused both ears a lot of pain at the time since I was unable to equalize them (which I've always had a problem doing even when not sick), but the pain was more so in the left ear. I had to fly back home again with this ear pain the following day which I'm sure wasn't helpful.
In May, I woke up with extreme vertigo.
A year ago, after a cold, my ear was clogged for over a month affecting my hearing and my balance slightly --I saw my primary who prescribed flonase and spoke with a pulmonologist at worked who recommended sudafed (which is i think what finally cleared it).
What do you think caused this "dizziness"? It was an awful and scary feeling. And/or what can I do to prevent it?
I called the doc last week after trying a course of decongestants without luck and she prescribed flonase. Still no better today, still dizzy and have opaque fluid in my ears (as can be seen by an otoscope). I have been doing VRT for three weeks due to the dizziness, but without any results. I would like to call my doc again, but at this point I do not even know what can be done. I tried to get in with an ENT, but am looking at a three month wait at this point.
So the prednisone and flonase haven't done much to help so far. I know it's peak pollen and allergy season right now in the mid-atlantic but it makes me worry. Today has been worse than any day in the past few weeks.
I am totally amazed at how many people have this problem with dizziness brain fog and sinus problems how could these doctors not know what is going on I have also had all these symptoms had two mris seen two doctors allergy speciallist and neuerologist my neuerologist gave me spinal tap to rule out ms thank goodness it was negative had bloodwork done all normal my neuerologist seems to think that anxiety is causing this he said its number one reason for dizziness I dont know what to beli
I have been experiencing dizziness issues for almost 2 months now, on and off at first but now all the time when moving around. Took some antibiotics (azythromycin) for a sinus infection (from a walk-in clinic) and it helped for a few days but then came back even staying on the antibiotics. Went to the ER because I was very concerned and couldn't wait to see my regular doc, they did CT scans of my whole body and found nothing wrong, sent me to a cardiologist.
I'm 30 yrs old and for the past 5 months I have heard a crumbling noise in my left year that has been getting worse recently. If I lightly strike the front of my ear, pull on left ear, gently touch back of left ear, or press on it in any way I hear that crumbling noise for a few seconds then it goes away. It's worse at night when I'm laying down.
38yo male with diagnosed hearing loss on right side. I workout often, no high blood pressure etc. In middle 2017 I had what I now know as a vertigo episode. It put me on the floor it was so bad. I had another one a few months later. This was summertime, so no true infection or anything that showed up. I consistently have ear pressure (fullness) that never seems to go away, it's always faint. I have had tempanogram and hearing tests, which showed hearing loss.
I have had a stuffy feeling in my right ear for over a year now, can't pop it, no issue hearing, just feels stuffy. Like before you pop your ears on a plane.
I've been to 3 ENTS, as well as my primary care. Initially I was told there had probably been an ear infection and that several rounds of Flonase would empty out the remaining liquid, plus some antibiotics for good measure.
t been feeling well. You can always call and ask your doctor these questions for guidance. Flonase is known to reduce nasal inflammation over time. The best thing is to blow your nose prior to using it and then wait as long as you possibly can before blowing your nose again. The longer you wait, the better chance the Flonase has of being absorbed into your nasal cavity. The most common recommendation is 15 to 30 minutes to wait to blow your nose after using.

//www.rxlist.com/flonase-drug.htm. Is this prescribed to decreases swelling or to attend to the sinus issue contributing to the swelling?
Hello. I have been experiencing moderate to severe postnasal drip and ringing in the ears. 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??
I have meds to take for this but was so dizzy I could not get up to get them and everyone was asleep already. I woke up the next morning and the dizziness was still there and has not gone away since. My cardiologist has ruled out my heart being the cause of the dizziness and my primary dr has ruled out vit B12 or Magnesium deficiency as well as anemia and an electrolyte imbalance.
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.
i kept getting dizzy and finally passed out and had to go to the ER and they said possible fluid in my ears. i have some sinus trouble but nothing ever like this before. They did a CT scan and told me it looked fine except he said sinus congestion and small retention cyst in my right Maxilliary sinus? They are sending me to a neurologist because of the intense pressure in my entire head but if it has anything to do with this cyst why not an ENT? could a cyst cause pressure and dizziness?
Twice in the last six months using Flonase my mouth filled with blood from sinuses. Is another medication for sinusitis available?
I've had an upper respiratory infection for about a week. Went to the doctor this morning with severe ear pain, no infection, just inflammation due to the other infection. Was recommended Flonase, rest, and fluids. After I came home and took the Flonase I've had this really weird fizzing sensation off and on at the back of my throat all day. It feels like a handful of poprocks are at the top of my throat/back of my mouth. It's a really weird suggestion.
I'm also taking Fluticasone Propionate and have the very same issue. I think it's because the nasal spray dries out the nasal cavity. At first, I started having bloody noses, but then that stopped and this current symptom started. My doctor had said it may make the nose very dry and to try saline solution once daily after the Flonase. I have yet to do that, but it's supposed to help. Hope that helps.
s unfortunate when medication costs so much sometimes that we have to find an alternative. Flonase and Astepro are likely the right names. Flonase is a corticosteroid spray and Astepro is an antihistamine spray. Dymista is a combination medication so it makes sense that the doctor is suggesting the two medications will work as the Dymista did. Let us know how it goes.

My vision is blurry, my neck pops, my head feels fuzzy, and, my ears feel pressure and are ringing, but also make a popping noise every now and then. I can also make my ears crackle and my right ear squeak by moving my soft palate. In addition, I have a contact state of nerovousness and tingling in my fingers and feet. The area above my ears feels tight, and my hole head feels inflamed.
I cant talk too much, otherwise i start feeling dry my nose and mouth, and get fatigued. Then my tongue feel dry and gets white. I feel better when i scrape the white stuff off, but comes back often. Its been going on for 4-5 years. Its start to sleep well, and function with these issues. Doc put me on Flonase didnt work. HELP !!
