Avatar f tn Yes, when the weather changes, my allergies spin out of control. When I finally went to my Doctor, he put me on Omnaris Allergy Nasal Spray. It works wonders for me! If your Doctor hasn't suggested an allergy medication, this may be an option for you. Before a year ago, I had never had allergies, nor had I taken allergy medication. I like the Omnaris best because for me, there is no side affects and it is non-habit forming.
910524 tn?1288273614 Hi everyone! My name is Amy & I have a quick question. Here is the background...about 2 1/2 years ago (right when I moved into my new home) I started having these awful sinus pressure type headaches along with "stuffiness" that was deep in my nasal passages, meaning I could still mostly breathe through my nose.
Avatar n tn I have the same issue but mine is calming down i think because i stopped the corticosteroid i was on called Flonase inwas orginally on Omnaris but insurance switched me over to Flonase, ive been on flonase and omnaris for about 3 years straight only recently ive felt extremely anxious/panic attacks with no rhyme or reason so i stopped all unecessary meds and only took my diovan for my blood pressure and Lialda for my ulcerative colitus its been about 20 days and the palps are now on and off most
Avatar n tn You should get a nasal steroid such a Flonase or Nasacort and start using it a month or so before the allergy season starts. These are prescription medications but Flonase is now generic so it should be cheaper now. It really works great.
Avatar m tn I would also recommend that maybe you try one of the other nasal steroids. There are quite a few to chose from - Veramyst, Flonase, Omnaris to name a few. Different medicines work differently for different people, so one of the other options may work for you. Also, there are several other classes of nasal sprays you can try - nasal antihistamines (Astrepro and Patanase, anticholinergic (Atrovent - ipratroprium bromate), and mast cell stabilizer (NasalCrom - an OTC). Keep us posted.
Avatar m tn They gave me a hearing test and my hearing is fine. So he thinks my inner ear is clogged so he prescribes me flonase and to snort salt water and baking soda to unclog it. So i've been doing that and it seems to have helped out the fullness in my ears a little bit but i'm still getting dizzy with the pressure. I went to a chiropractor last week just to see if it was my neck or back that was causing this and got xrays. I go back later this week to see the results.
Avatar f tn I like Omnaris Nasal Allergy Spray, but it is available through prescription only. If you are looking for OTC allergy meds, Clariton has a good safe reputation, (the gerneric brand is fine) and the standard "good old fallback" is Benedryl, which is also safe and has been around a long long time. Good luck!
Avatar n tn (sorry) or if I take the steroid I can cough up huge yellow inch long mucus plugs. I take Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin, Flonase and singular, albuterol nebs and inhaler, also famotidine 2x daily I was on advair for 2months and he said stop because it did nothing for me other than change sputum from slimy to chunky and is quite pricey for no results.
Avatar m tn //www.rxlist.com/flonase-side-effects-drug-center.htm - which is probably why your doctor said to stop using it. If your cough got better using it, maybe it was helping some allergy symptoms, like post-nasal drip. Did you ask your doctor what he meant, or try to clarify anything? Always feel free to ask questions and clarify anything you don't understand with your doctor.
464237 tn?1315670793 t want the infection to get even worse. How is it ok to use flonase for bacterial infection? Have any of you used flonase for infection. My infection is not allergy related, it came from a cold that was going around. Thanks so much for reading. and yes I have been using nasal irrigation along with all of the other home remedies I have found on the internet.
Avatar n tn //www.rxlist.com/flonase-drug.htm. Is this prescribed to decreases swelling or to attend to the sinus issue contributing to the swelling?
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 m tn 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.
Avatar n tn I have a ringing iin my ear because it is plugged up my nose is stopped up and one of my eyes is swollen? which is annoying what can I use? will omnaris spry help with the inflamed eye?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn The folliculitis is limited to the scalp only. I am real curious about the Flonase use ,but also read of a connection toi high tryglycerides, which I do have a problem with. No test have been done, saw family physician, she only suggested a dandruff shampoo. I have been using T- Gel and Demerex.
Avatar f tn t take really any allergy meds due to issues with tachycardia and palpitations. My doctor suggested Flonase, but I am allergic to sulfur (used a sulfur mask once and my whole face swelled huge, used to have to brush me teeth with sulfur water and my entire mouth would get blisters) and I noticed that Flonase contains sulfur in its makeup. Can I use it?
Avatar m tn I notice that the ingredient that in Flonase is the same (fluticasone propionate) as is found in Flovent.. It occurs to me that flonase might even work better because more of the stream of fluticasone propionate would hit the back of my throat and be swallowed, getting more to my esophagus and less to my mouth. The key point though is I can get flonase inexpensively, whereas the flovent is more than I can easily afford.
Avatar f tn Have you been tested for any bacterial infections, like Strep throat? Bad smells are sometimes associated with bacterial infections. If it's not getting better, you should definitely go back to the doctor instead of self-medicating with Flonase. If it's not allergies, Flonase won't help and might make the situation worse.
Avatar n tn I have had post nasal drip as long as I can remember. I am a 52 yr old mail, 5'9", 195lbs. My PND gummed up the back of my throat enough in July of this year to wake me everytime I nod off. I am now on sleep medication, clonazepam, Lunesta, now but which is barely working, Atavan is better and I can sleep but sedatives cannot be taken forever and this PND doesn't seem to be going away.
Avatar f tn I just finished taking Azithromycin yesterday for what must of been a bacterial infection of my sinuses and lungs. It started as a cold. The cold went away but I was experiencing shortness of breath and post nasal drip that just wasn't subsiding. I went to two doctors. The first doctor prescribed a corticosteroid nasal spray (Omnaris). This helped a bit for the post nasal drip but wasn't addressing the shortness of breath or chronic cough that wasn't going away on its own.
Avatar f tn t feel it when I put my finger up my nose only feel it when I scrunch my nose up or wiggle it. My dr also suggested not using my Flonase for a week or so that it might be causing the soreness and bump haven't used it in 2 days and starting to feel a little better.
