flonase and glaucoma

Hello, I've been posting in the migraine forum about this, since each episode starts with what appears to be an ocular migraine, but I've not been able to find an answer on this dull, lingering eye pain, so I thought I'd see if I can find answers here. I've had 3 ocular migraines in the last 7 months, at around 3 month intervals.

saw my specialsit today, He said l have cateracts in both eyes, that explained why the right eye words seemed slighly blurry, l feel pity depressed now l have both glaucoma and cateracts . But he said my glacuoma is under control and overall l can still see failry well , l dont have any problems reading writing or doing anything and l dont need contacts or glasses. he said its age related cataracts, but l am 47, and he said it started about a year ago . . l feel a bit scared of surgery .

I personally often stop the xalatan for a few months after surgery and use another glaucoma drop instead but many doctors don't do that. Basically, if your surgeon is experienced and excellent, the chances of success are very, very high.

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?

My next appt to follow up on my suspicious glaucoma status is 7/16. My husband and I are trying to conceive right now. I wonder if it is safe to use glaucoma eye drops when conceiving or pregnant? I"m pretty sure he's gonna put me on glaucoma eye drops.

There is a form of glaucoma (normal tension glaucoma) that sometimes fools doctors into thinking the glaucoma is under control or not present as the eye pressure seems OK but the vision might still deteriorate. If ever in doubt, you could always get a second opinion with another glaucoma specialist to make sure everything is being done correctly.

Remember thee were studies that showed that smoking was good for you, that opioids were not addicting, and that coffee caused ulcers.

I have a esophagus condition and was told to take flonase and spray 2 shots in my mouth twice a day. Flonase is a steroid and it helps with the inflammation. I had difficulty swallowing to the point of choking and passing out and this has helped me tremendously.

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. https://www.webmd.

dear Doctor, my vision is blurry when I read small text and the opthamologist says I probably have early glaucoma- I did the spark field of vision test and couldn't see the peripheral sparks. I argued him into giving me steroidal eye drops. is my vision going to deteriorate and I should only read larger text? I've been on clomid and spiriva which are known to cause glaucoma and increased eye pressure.

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 was developing glaucoma (early stages) from steroids. I stopped the steroids and the condition resolved itself. Stop the steroids if you can. I was using Advair for COPD. There were many bad side effects. But I found that I actually got better results using natural remedies. No side effects. If COPD is your problem look to natural alternatives.

See an Eye MD ophthalmologist every year and going blind from glaucoma is very unlikely. Most glaucoma patients go blind because they don't use their medicine, stop going to the doctor or don't have the disease diagnosed until end stage.

It seems that glaucoma is listed as a possible side effect for just about every prescription medication these days. I am taking Remeron (mirtazapine, for anxiety and insomnia) and, of course, glaucoma is listed. How big a threat is this? Do I stop taking the pills? I don't have glaucoma and last check-up had healthy optic nerves, although moderate cupping. it's not listed as a common side effect, but it is mentioned.

In this case you probably do NOT have a condition called angle closure glaucoma. This is the type of glaucoma that can be affected by cold medications. If you have open angle glaucoma or any other type of glaucoma, cold medications are fine.

l visited my eye doctor today and asked him if l should go back on the eye drops because my pressure is backup , he took scans and said all the scans and tests were good and the nerve damage and glaucoma has not gotten worse since l stopped the eye drops so there no need to go back on them.

How does glaucoma affect your Ganglion Cells Comples (GCC) and Retina Nerve Fiber Layers (RNFL)?

Only people with a rare UNTREATED type of glaucoma called angle closure glaucoma should avoid those medications and only until the Eye MD treats it with laser iridectomy.

You would need to sit down with glaucoma specialist/OB-GYN to discuss each of the 4 groups of eye drops and also SLT laser and understand the possible risks to you and fetus vs the risk of permanent damage if you don't use meds. There is no risk free course. Needling is what I was referring to.

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.

Twice in the last six months using Flonase my mouth filled with blood from sinuses. Is another medication for sinusitis available?

I also went to my eye doc for a gulag check up and he said I have glaucoma and optic nerve damage. I am 53 and glaucoma does NOT run in my family,(I am the first in my family). He said I need to see a specialist this week. I m also seeing a specialist for my ear this week. My ear doc said he is "very suspicious ". He wanted to know more as to why I was Boeing tested for ms and why I am having ear trouble, low vitamin D, headaches and now glaucoma .

My mother has *both* PXE and glaucoma. So, is it still a good idea to have cataract surgery sooner rather than later?

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 know that many cold remedies have Phenedrine and/or other stimlulants and I am wondering if any Afib patients out there take Nasonex or Flonase wihtout any problems.
