nasonex in eyes

I then saw your post about steroids being possible causes of eye puffiness - I have been taking Nasonex which has a small amount of carticosteroid in it for about 13 years to counteract perennial rhinitis, one of the symptoms of which, unfortunately include puffy eyes! My question is whether the amount of steroid in the spray taken as perscribed, could be causing this.

Question is my doctor wants to try a non-invasive ,short course of Nasonex (2xday--2 weeks) to maybe help decompress the eyes. She's says the bone between the upper nasal passage and orbit are thin enough that the steroid can sometimes help. Thing I'm worried about is the fact that Nasonex(corticosteroid) could raise my already high IOP and cause problems.

No. Emily began Nasonex at 5-supposedly much better than Flonase for kids. Jake started allergy meds in May at 19 mos. He is taking Singulair and Zyrtec. ENT thinks allergies are causing fluid build-up in his ears, leading to his frequent ear infections. My DH has terrible allergies. Jake's eyes used to just drip tears and he has what they call "allergic shiners" which are big purple bags under his eyes.

I do have a headache behind my eyes and feel tired a lot, but I had that before too. Common side effects of Nasonex are fatigue, headaches, a lowered immune system (not good) and others too. A few people I know who have used this for a year or more mentioned that they got palpitations, and one friend said his PVCs increased. But one can't be sure whether the PVCs increased because of the Nasonex. I already have quite a few PVCs a day and don't need more.

7 weeks post-exposure via Oraquick Advance Rapid HIV 1/2 The concern I'm having is that 4 days after my 9-week test, I came down with what I thought was a sinus infection (lots of pressure around the eyes, top and back of the head - somewhat different than previous sinus infections I've had) so my doctor prescribed me Zithromax over the phone.

As well as lower the immune system and perhaps antagonize TED or another autoimmune disorder.

She would like to wash the mucus from her eyes. Is distilled water safe to use as an eye wash.? Her current medications are Combigan, Lumigan, Nasonex and Patenase.

I have been trying to find something to help my dry eyes. My Opthimal rubs a paper across my eyes which turns green. Her recommended medicine is Baush & Loom Soomth EP eye drops. Everytime I use them the next day the inside of my eyelids feel gritty like sandpaper. It is very uncomfortable. Retasis does the same thing. The Dr. tells me my dryness is between 3 and 4. Ocassionally my left eye swells and is painful. On thoses days I want to patch my eye to keep the light out.

It started off as horrible headaches and now eye problems with me having this same squishy eye problem in my left eye that is driving me insane. I've been to the Dr 10 times about this 5 different Dr's and the results have always been the same with no answer to what it is.... I've have tear ducts plugged ( upper and lower ) prescribed new nasonex nose spray cat scans tear ducts flushed....Ive been through hell with this and still no answers to what it is.

My 71 year-old mother has very red dry eyes with white mucus. She has been taking Combigan, Lumigan, Nasonex, Patenase. She would like to wash the mucus from her eyes.

Hello and thanks for this service! I recently purchased a "Sinus Pack" thermatherapy mask. After purchasing it I noticed in small type "not to be used heated over the eyes". I have used heated sinus masks numerous times in the past with no problem. Would you discourage a heated sinus mask used over the forehead, eyes, nose and cheeks? It seems to be the best soothing treatment for my chronic sinusitus and headaches. I also use Zyrtec and Nasonex.

No nasonex will not do this Optivar is an allergy drop. If you were allergic to dust, pollen etc it should be both eyes. If just one eye it usually indicates you have gotten something on the lid that caused the problem.

I was diagnosed with sinusitis 3 months ago and have had 3 rounds of antibiotics and it just keeps bothering me. What bothers me the most is my eyes have frequent pain. Mostly my right eye but today is my left more. I have pain behind my rt eye and up the rt side of my head behind my ear daily. What would cause this?

1) I am currently taking allergy shots for dust mite, cat & pollen allergies & am close to reaching my mainetnance dose. I also take nasonex, asterlin, clarinex and mucinex & decongestants as needed. Earlier this year I was on predisone & antibiotics for a sinus infection, I feel better now than I have felt in a year (although it took anothe 2-3 weeks after stopping prednisone & antibiotics to feel better so not sure if these were the cause or not).

Recently I've been feeling as if the infection/ polyps (whatever the cause) has been moving upwards, (by the facial pressure i feel, it's higher up than it used to be) and over the past two days i've been having disturbing twitching pulsations in the eyes, and somtimes in the lids close to eyes- near the...punctum lacrimale, on the upper lid near the tiny holes (i know nothing about it, I googled an eye diagram.) I can both see and feel the twitch/pulse.

I have been having some pressure around the bridge of my nose and behind my eyes. I have sinus problems but they seem to get worse as I get older (I'm 36). Anyway, I normally get my allergies in the spring and fall and is accompanied with sneezing, scratchy throat, runny nose, etc. But this time, I have pressure towards the bridge of my nose, around inner eye sockets next to the nose and behind my eyes.

I get a couple seconds dizziness every time i move my eyes or turn my head. Although it only lasts for a few seconds, its bothersome because i am constantly moving my head and eyes. What could this condition be?

Ok so for over a year now i have had a build up of fluid or lymph next to my eyes around the ethmoid sinuses. It started one morning when i woke up and had what looked like a cyst of fluid next to one eye. I put clearasil on it and it slowly reduced the size of it but never totally went away. I kept putting clearasil on it and tried to ignore it as much as possible. I went to South America for 2 weeks and when i came back the fluid had totally drained out (Didn't lift weights there).

My doctor has me on Nasonex spray (1 spray, 1ce per day), Singulair (10 mg once per day), and Cromolyn Sodium eye drops (4%, 4 times a day). I have had bad allergy symptoms for around 15 years. I have a runny nose all the time, but the worst is the chronic eye irritation. They burn constantly. It makes me feel exhausted and really inhibits my ability to function at full capacity every day. I feel like my doctor just isn't taking me very seriously.

Hi, My symtom's started with severe headache and flu like symtoms with tightness in my sinuses and tenderness. I was prescribed Penicillian and nasonex nasal spray. I had an allergic rash appear from Penicillian and given an antihistimine to calm it and a different antibiotic Doxycycline for sinuses instead. I complained that the Nasonex seemed to make facial pain worse and ears felt full.

Any connection between Nasonex and PDV? -Is my blur in corner of eye temporary? -Is dim pulsating light in my eye actually flash? Because it's very dim and very different from any other flash description... Sorry for my Engrish, but i can't hold my curiousity..

I have pain over and behind my left eye, and it extends over my head.I feel it like a line ( probably a nerve) that goes from my eye through my head.I had it twice in a week, but it is very brief ( a couple of minutes). What is it?

Recently, for the past few months, my eyes haev been constantly and increasingly puffy, seems like I can't do anything about them, have tried excluding pretty much all foods, given up salt, nothing works, now getting desperate. Puffiness with eyes also comes with sever fatigue and eye pain. Anyone had anything similar or can offer any advice. Please? I've heard Castor Oil can help?

Yes that type of surgery can cause eye problems expectially eye muscle problems. I would see a Eye MD, if available an neuroophthalmologist.

I have one blue eye and one brown and blue eye. I take 1 Lipitor daily. Also I take Claritin and use Nasonex spray for allergies. I have severe pain in my eyes but it does not cause any pain to my head. I have had my tear ducts plugged, sinuses cleaned and drained, and polyps removed from my sinuses. These solutions have only brought temporary relief and have not solved the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have been on antibiotics 3 times to treat sinustis in addition I was prescribed Nasonex. There doesn't seem to be a way to completely rid myself of this ongoing problem. Any suggestions? Or could this be a missed diagnosis? Symptoms are head ache behind right eye and blurred vision.

my son had some reacurring headaches(not very strong but pretty often)the doctor put him on nasonex.that seemed to help but he then got a scalp fungus(they gave me ketoconazole cream) but he still has this.he then started to get cankersores in his mouth for about a month(this finally went away but about a week later he had a fever of 102 for about a day. the doctor said just to give him advil.he now has a rash, just small red bumps on his body but not anywhere on his face.

Over the past 2 months i have had pretty classic lesions of POD (red bumps, occasional pustules, and scaling on my chin/nasolabial folds, and corner of my eyes). My question is....i was on nasonex for allergic rhinitis for over a year and i discontinued it abruptly about 1-2 weeks before this rash started.....have you seen people developing POD after discontinuing a nasal steroid (had no rash while on it).

-I remember correctly i use Nasonex for my sinusitis, a few day before i notice the 'floater'.

Because it's very dim and very different from any other flash description... Sorry for my Engrish, but i can't hold my curiousity...
