Avatar f tn Hello, The most common way to get rid of a stuffy nose is to use an over-the-counter (OTC) decongestant combined with an anti-inflammatory analgesic (pain reliever) like Ibuprofen. However, you should not use decongestants for more than 5-7 days at a time. This is because they can only provide short-term relief for catarrh, and using them for any longer can make your symptoms worse.. Avoid indigestible, spicy, foods and meats. Eat simply of wholesome food.

461838 tn?1255790216 I would ask your doc before taking med, including herbal med. There is a relatively new nonsteroidal nasal spray now (essentially an antihistamine). Try some of the non medication measures for the headaches: warm bath (really helps with sinus congestion), massage, stretching excercises, yoga. Wishing you well.

Avatar n tn It works by constricting (shrinking) blood vessels (veins and arteries) in your body. The nasal formulation acts directly on the blood vessels in your nasal tissues. Constriction of the blood vessels in your nose and sinuses leads to drainage of these areas and a decrease in congestion. One of its side effect may be elevation of blood pressure and an irregular or fast heartbeat.
Avatar f tn Using low dose steroidal nasal sprays, are very effective. The steroid in the spray is very low and acts only locally. Two puffs in each nostril two times a days for about a month. The effect starts only after 2weeks of therapy. Once an attack has occurred, the antihistamines like chlopheneramine, lovatidine are effective. Nasal decongestant drops too relieve congestion. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn take an OTC antihistamine and use a nasal spray like Ocean Saline Spray. Do not mix antihistamines though such as an oral antihistamine and spray. Ocean Spray does not have an antihistamine and will simply dry you out and is safe to use with an antihistamine.

Avatar m tn I was told to use Beconase Aqueous Nasal Spray but after 2 days it increased my repetition what I listed much more often. Now I was told to use inhalant decongestant but it is to early to know if it will work and I'm trying to find something that will be a explanation to what happens to me and solution how to finish that problem.
666921 tn?1254990618 My LLMD mentioned that the nasal steroid spray was OK to take for 1-2 months if necessary for allergies, as in my case. Another data point.
Avatar n tn com/health/nasal-spray-addiction#treatment It suggests switching from a decongestant nasal spray to a steriod nasal spray. I would check with your doctor though before doing anything. Your sinus gets physically dependent on the spray but you can resolve that.
Avatar n tn I do suffer from allergies but the antihistamine and decongestant has had no affect on dizziness and funny heart feelings. Thanks, Terri. (I'm 44 and my blood pressure is normal sitting and standing, not overweight).
Avatar f tn For years I have struggled to breathe through my blocked nose and for a year I have been excessively using nasal decongestants as it is the only way I can breathe freely. Blowing my nose is something I do constantly although this has never helped in any way.
612551 tn?1450022175 My EN&T problem that brought me to this community is night time congestion . I have tried many decongestant products, some over-the-counter and a couple prescription formulations. I have fond that the only thing, pill or spray, that really clears the nasal passages for me is the "Afrin" type nasal spray. Of course we all know this will produce bad unwanted side effects (rebound and loss of sense of smell I believe), so I don't use this spray every night.
Avatar n tn An antihistamine can be taken as long as you are being exposed to the allergen. The decongestant spray should only be used for 3 days if it is something like Afrin. Longer use causes something similar to addiction where you have "rebound" congestion - when you don't use the medicine you are congested just because your didn't use it, but there is no real need to use the spray. You would have to see a dr for a nasal steroid to get over this adiction.

Avatar n tn I just started using Nasonex (steroid nasal spray), and it really helps my allergies and sinus headache, and eye-related sinus problems. But I also have PVCs and my heart pounds a lot (can feel it in my head, back, etc). I'm wondering whether Nasonex is safe to take long term if I have these heart issues. Doctor just shrugged his shoulders when I asked. Anyone know?
Avatar n tn If you just stop using the nasal spray, you will go through a period of about 24 to 36 hours where your nose will be almost completely blocked up from the mucous membranes swelling with rebound swelling, but if you can tolerate that 24 to 36 hours, then the swelling subsides, and within a couple of days you will be breathing normally without the spray.
