 1  Recurrent sinusitis About a week into taking I started noticing heart issues, first I felt a tightness that I slept off, then a few days later heart palpitations and feeling of skipped beats(since been told they're called PACs). I finally started questioning the flonase so quit after 3wks of use but symptoms persisted. Dr did ekg, echo and now am nearing the end of wearing a cardiac event monitor for 2 weeks. Cardiologists did say it could have been flonase and was taking awhile to leave my system and rhythm fall back into normal. Now about 4wks after stopping the palpitations have all about stopped and I haven't felt anymore skipped beats, but the anxiety persists which they're now questioning my thyroid, which surprise surprise flonase can effect as well. Do yourself a favor and just stick with harmless saline spray because in the end its working better than the flonase did All of my life I've regretted very little, but this I wish I could go back in time and never use the flonase, I'd rather the sinus infections :( F 30 21 days

 2  Polyps and sinus At first, I cured my nose blocked. But after 1 week, i got severe headache, dizziness, lost of smell and taste. Now I am having blood tinged in phlegm or mucus on and off and just did nose cauterization last month to stop the bleeding. Still i have some bleeding now. It is also causing me to have dry cough now. But overall, my polyps shrunk. 37 7 months

 1  Sinus problems I've used nasonex on and off depending on sinus problems over the course of a year or so and it helped every single time. Until now. As spring has started I've found my nose getting more and more blocked every single day, which prompted me 4 hours ago (before bed) to take a few sprays of nasonex. As I was asleep I woke up unbearably dizzy. Yes. Laying down had me dizzy. I sat upright to adjust myself and gather my senses. As I felt better I laid down again and immediately my world was spinning. As I type this, I have to keep my head upright because if it tilts the nausea increases immediately tenfold. I have never experienced this before in my life. Right now this is symptomatic of vertigo and is keeping me up for the last 3 hours. I can be sure this is all due to the nasonex. When I said my nose was getting blocked, it's not even that "bad" I only took it pre emptively. And nothing else lifestyle wise, diet wise, exertion wise has changed. Never taking this again M 30 0 days

 1  Sinusitus Immediately symptoms begin for me. Immediate jump in heart rate upon ingestion. Extreme irritability. I never have trouble falling asleep but on this drug I feel upset, about to cry, crazy dreams. So irritable I cannot be around others when taking this. Second time I have been prescribed NASONEX despite telling ENT that I do not tolerate it and discontinued use last time after it destroyed my ability to sleep or work. Was told that decongestants affect your heart, not corticosteroids. I tolerate decongestants OK but not corticosteroids. The drug has never been covered for me and is prohibitively expensive for prolonged use in my economic situation. Some people tolerate it with no side effects. M 22 2 days

 5  Chronic non-allergic rhinitis Dry nose, some crusting, some bleeding. Originally I consulted an ENT for polyps causing sinusitis, which this medication dealt with without surgery. Later I developed chronic non-allergic rhinitis (aka chronic nasal neuropathy) and I take it to control symptoms of blocked nose. I try to take as little as needed, so sometimes none for three or four weeks (esp in summer when I am swimming in the sea), but most other times 1-2 sprays per day. I sometimes have to stop for a few weeks if the crusting and bleeding gets bad but I could not manage without this or some similar medication-- my nose would be permanently and completely blocked.

 1  Nasal polyps Heart paliptations, bleeding in nose, watery eyes affecting vision, headache, physical and mental fatigue, mental disturbances From time to time I try and take Nasonex hoping it will reduce polyp size and so I could avoid surgery. I've never felt any improvement while taking it, but the side effects are the most horrible aspect of this nasal spray. The longest I've taken this spray is for 3 weeks, after which I stopped when I found out my BP had dropped to 80/60! It was clear then that it doesn't work. Still, this year I started Nasonex again, to give it benefit of the doubt. But this time I experienced the most frightening side effect on day 7. Along with faitgue and tiredness in body and headaches, I also had mental disturbances. I'd be remembering something then I'd imagine I had that thought in some dream before, even though it wasn't true! Went to ER as I thought I was losing my mind. That same evening I was reading something then suddenly out of nowhere I remembered some event that had occured in my childhood, even though it had no relation at all to what I was reading. Although I stopped taking the spray that day, the mental fatigue lingered for another 7 days. During this recovery time, whenever I thought of some idea very complex and difficult to achieve, I'd get this sickly mental feeling in the head. These dreadful side effects are enough to keep me from any nasal spray the rest of my life. I guess I'd have surgery after all. M 31 7 days

 5  Sinus infection, allergies Sometimes increased anxiety but not always. Works great when my sinuses are blocked and I can't breath. I use a saline spray first. Also prevents the sneezing and runny nose, red eyes I get from allergies. I wish it'd give me a boost of energy since it's a steroid. F 41 1 years

 1  Sinus blocked Took this for sinus blockage and seasonal allergy, took OK for 4 years but 1squirt rather than 2 only used it spring. And summer night issues got changed to generic non brand. Told to take 2squirts which I did within 2fays had sleepless night heart racing and anxiety for first time in my life. Felt like this on and off for 2 weeks and did not make connection until I checked side effects checked the data sheet. That came with medication no mention of the effects I was having until I came across this site and found others having same effects as me stopped taking immediately as symptoms started to stop Now 6 months since I stopped taking this medication and occasionally still get panic feeling at night and heart races hope this will eventually stop seen doctor all OK. Do not or stop taking this rather suffer blocked nose than this anyone have prolonged side effects M 51 4 years

 1  Allergies It did help with allergies but my vision was getting worse - I wear contacts. Then started getting dizzy quite often. My eye Dr recommended testing for high blood pressure or diabetes. Both tests came back fine. Then checked into nasonex and found it could cause dizziness and swelling in eyes. Been off for 4 days - no more dizziness hope vision improved in time F 58 6 months

 1  allergies For almost two years I have taken nasonex to control allergies, however, the side effects of it, mostly occurring upon waking, and lasting about 5-6 hours, are unbearable: chronic, tension headaches, extreme fatigue, and some dizziness. I never could relate the side effects to the nasal spray until I had exhausted every other possibility including diet, hydration, other medications, vitamins and herb supplements. Through a long process of elimination, and reading other posts online, I finally determined it was the Nasonex of Mometasone Fuorate spray. You are not alone! Horrible headaches and lasting fatigue are not worth it!! M 31 2 years

 5  Recurrent sinus infections I started taking nasonex about 2 years ago. I did notice some unpleasant side effects like fullness in my throat, nosebleeds, and headaches, but since it controlled my sinus infections, I put up with the side effects. However, after reading how so many people have experienced, anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia, stomach problems, blurry vision and dizzyness, I realized, I was reading about myself. I thought I was losing my mind. Over the past two years I've been suffering from anxiety attacks for the first time in my life. I'm so dizzy I feel like I could fall down at times. A year ago I went to emergency thinking I was having a heart attack. I rarely fall asleep before 3am and as a result feel like a zombie most days. I'm quitting this stuff immediately and hope and pray I'll go back to normal. I can't believe all this misery is caused by a nose spray. I'm getting off this stuff today. I pray what it's done to me is reversible. I gave it a high rating because it cured my sinus condition. It does what it's supposed to do but, it's not worth everything else it does to a person.
