 5  Severe sinus headaches I have a question for anyone -- has anyone experienced breathing problems in very cold weather? For 3 days in a row now, after walking in 20 deg F weather, I have become very dizzy and have taken 2 to 3 hours to recover. I am also experiencing some very mild chest pains. My sinus problems have cleared up after 30 days use. M 62 35 days

 2  year round allergies I've been using some form of nasal steroid spray for 17 years. It wasn't until I tried Flonase that I had a sharp increase in mood swings, anxiety, etc. However, I only started panic attacks after starting the nasal sprays, and developed chronic fatigue syndrome. I've battle weight gain and depression in turns. Dumped the Flonase to go back to Rhinocort and am now trying to wean off that as well. I don't necessarily see where it improves my sinus condition since I still get sinus infections and when allergy seasons are bad, I still get a lot of post nasal drip. I'm having a wicked time weaning off. Rebound congestion, rivers of post nasal drip and a cough. However, if there's any chance this and similar drugs could be contributing to the cfs, I'm off it.

 1  Tinnitus/ my sinuses are narrower I tried Nasonex and it irritated my throat so i switched to Rhinort. On the first day of Rhinocort, it affected my breathing and severe headache ensued within three hours. I thought it was normal and if i kept with it, it would go away, well now i'm on the 7th day and i cant take the headaches anymore. My breathing is OK, but i feel lethargic and almost dizzy like. And i have tingling and coating on my tongue. My ENT said that my narrow sinuses could be causing my earaches or inflammation, but when i woke up this morning on the 7th day - i couldnt breath through the left nostril entirely. I'm stopping this stuff and going HOlistic approach instead!! There are healthier more natural approaches to deal with Sinus issues. A healthy diet should be enough - i just need to work hard at it... anything than the headache!! F 37 7 days

 4  Middle ear infection After the tenth day of using Rhinocort before bed, I started to wake up in the morning feeling anxious and my muscles were very tense & my mouth was dry all day. I forgot to use the medicine on the 11th night so I took it in the AM instead. I got very anxious and experienced premature heartbeats all day long. My joints are achy too & my eyes are sensitive to light & I have a headache. My sinuses responded quicker to the Rhinocort than with the Nasonex. I don't know if this is healing the ear infection or it's cause for the long run though. I am also taking Allegra 180 and Amoxicillin. I am stopping the Rhinocort now as I was only supposed to take it for 14 days & I'll stop 3 days short of that, but I cannot put up with premature heartbeats and anxiety. No one needs to take or keep taking any medicine that causes this. F 48 11 days

 4  Post Nasal Drip Dizziness, fast heart beat, anxiety symptoms. Rhinocort has helped my post nasal drip. I just don't like the side effects. I didn't have these side effects everyday. My side effects would come and go. Everybody is diffrent and all drugs have side effects. M 32 1 years

 5  Chronic Rhinitis None Excellent results for me. I can breath through my nose, which allows me to enjoy food, sleep better at night breathing through my nose and not my mouth (it has reduced my snoring). My allergic nasal symptoms are gone. M 41 7 years

 1  allergies irritated nose, tingling face, vagueness, swelling in hands and feet, racing heart beat, headaches, blurry or hazy vision, feelings of anxiety and depression, inability to get a good nights sleep, breathlessness, loss of ability to exercise without losing breath extremely quickly. It alleviated the allergies but the side effects are not worth it. I would not reccomend using this product. I am only sorry that I have used it for so long without taking the time to research it.

 2  Nasal Congestion Flu-like symptoms - Moderate head & body aches, lack of energy, sleepleness. I use a CPAP machine to help me breath at night and my nasal passages would close up during the night, my doctor gave me a sample of Rhinocort. Since starting I can breath throughout the night with no problem but I cannot take the side effectsany longer. I will be asking for a different drug this week. I suggest that you ask your doctor for a sample of this drug and use it before having a prescription filled M 36 3 weeks

 1  chronic rhinitis Upon first dose, and continuing: mild headache, very dry throat. Day 3 (last day): extreme panic attack, out of the blue. I had generalized anxiety disorder and was on Zoloft for 3 years in my teens, and know what a panic attack feels like. This one was the worst I can remember having. Strongly do not reccomend. None of the medical literature notes this potential side effect, but this was my only medication. I would rather have a stuffy nose, congested ears, and tinnitus than feel crazy! F 22 3 days

 1  Allergy Although it cleared up my sinuses, Rhinocort also kept me awake all night. My physician provided me with Allegra D, Singular and Rhinocort and said I could take them together, if necessary. Allegra did nothing, Singular seemed the most effective. One day when neither Allegra nor Singular together was working, I also inhaled the Rhinocort. The relief was nearly immediate, but sleep never came that night and literally saw every hour on the clock until morning. M 46 1 days

 1  chronic rhinitis None I took this med for 2 months and experienced NO RELIEF - in fact, my nasal congestion seemed to continually worsen. I had to start using over the counter nasal sprays and breathe-right strips during the last 2 weeks I took the med. I started using Nasonex about 2 weeks ago and the change is phenomenal - within 3 days I felt 100 times better! F 27 2 months

 1  Allergies Blood pressure skyrocketed, anxious feeling, nervous, panicky, irritable, went to Dr. because I thought my thyroid meds were off - they turned out fine. Then I found this webiste and now know what is causing it. Will only use one spray every toher day or so if absolutely necessary. Was on this a year ago and didn't experience any side effects then. F 37 7 days

 2  Severe nasal congestion/allergies BAD aches and pains (flu-like symptoms with aches from neck down to legs), fever, scratchy throat, sinus pressure, possible sinus infection. Seems to have cleared up my nose - at least I can breathe again. However, these aches are SO bad that I'm going to stop taking it. There must be something better for me. F 46 4 days
