 3  allergies I am experiencing tightness in chest, heart palpitations, difficulties getting deep breath, and I feel that it is due to Nasonex. When I take the dose in the morning I can actually feel my heart respond, and it bothers me all day. It did clear up sinus congestion, but I am unbale to tolerate the heart trouble. I almost took myself to the ER today to see if I was having a heart attack. I will stop using this medicine immediately. F 29 3 weeks

 3  Allergies I think Nasonex is what has been making me quite jittery. Feels at times like I'm having palputations or just general nervous heart feeling. It has fixed my allergies to dust very well though. M 27 2 months

 3  Terrible allergies It was a wonder drug for about 3 weeks and I loved it. But then I developed the worst sore throat I have ever had and have now had it two weeks, even though I haven't taken Nasonex for all that time. I went to my doctor today and she even had me get a shot of Cortsione. It worked GREAT until I got the bad, BAD sore throat. F 56 30 days

 3  sinus headaches from allergies increased irritability, quick to anger, jittery, heart racing. I have not changed any other routine or drugs, so I'm thinking its the nasonex that is causing these side effects. Very unpleasant. It has cleared up my sinus headaches so far, but the side effects are like having bad pms, something I definitely don't want to have. Might try a different medication. F 42 10 days

 3  allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps Dry nose, dry red eyes, loss of sense of smell, impotence. Have been using Nasonex for 10 years. It took me a long time and much self experimentation over a period of several years of on-off use to finally positively identify a direct relaionship between Nasonex use and loss of sex drive and sexual potency. Beware of long-term use. Seems reversible over a period of several months of non-use, however. Nasonex (and surgery to remove nasal polyps) was a godsend initially. I went from 4-6 colds leading to bronchitis per year, to maximum 1 cold per year. I miss sense of smell however. I now use only sporadically, for short periods of maximum three days. M 53 10 years

 3  allergies, chronic sinusitis every few weeks suffered mild colds/sinus pain, much more frequent than before taking Nasonex - not sure that it was the nasonex but after seeing another reviewer with the same problem, I think it might be related. Did a search on google and came up with several results that claim glucocorticosteroids reduce immunity (t cells and immunoglobulins). Although this might make sense, considering allergic reactions can be the result of overactive immunoresponses to what the body perceives as 'allergens' (and g-steroids would thus dampen that response), I think more research might nevertheless develop a link between g-steroids and increased infections. Since my sinus infections are MUCH worse than allergy symptoms, I've stopped taking this drug. Anyone else who experienced similar problems, rate away, I'd love to hear any similar experiences. it definitely works for allergies, sneezing and runny nose, no doubt, but I'm afraid it may be reducing my immunity. stopped it. 21 5 months

 3  Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis None, other than a slight visual blurriness. I've had this condition for 5 months and not the conditions this medication is usually prescribed for. I tried it and it didn't really do very much to cure my condition so I stopped using it. F 42 16 days

 3  Sneezing, congestion from allergies Can't be sure it's from the Nasonex, but after 1.5 years of taking it, I now have dizzy spells, shortness of breath, a recurring strange tickling sensation in my left ear and a persistant pain on the right side of my neck. Also still have constant nasal congestion, so I have to take Sudafed for that. Haven't sneezed once in 1.5 years. Works great for sneezing problems, seems to give me lots of side effects, I plan to stop taking this after consulting with my doctor. M 38 1.5 years

 3  nasal polys Marvellous relief of symptoms for first month but after 3 months noticed far less effective and asthma symtoms becoming quite severe. Assume Nasonex is cause as no other change in life. Stopped taking and have developed very sore and stiff muscles and painful fingers. Notice this is a stated side effect of withdrawal . Even though doctor assured me there would be minimal side effects, it seems one must be very careful with steroids beyond a very short course. F 45 3 days

 3  recurring nasal congestion I have been using nasonex for about 6 months, with minimal success. Recently had severe dizziness from viral infection of ear/throat tubes (per doctor)that caused pressure in inner ear. I noticed viral infection as a listed side effect. I've stopped using nasonex. I'm not positive that nasonex caused the dizziness, but it was bad enough I don't want to take the chance. M 69 180 days

 3  Allergies to pets, hayfever In the past month I've developed a burning sensation or irritation in my nose, like when you swim and get a bunch water up your sinuses. Irritating, like breathing in very dirty air and sets my teeth on edge. Maybe too dried out?? On the other hand, it works great as long as I don't miss a dose. I also take Allegra, Advair and Patanol. F 40 2 years

 3  migraines/allergies. My son has severe, weather-triggered migraines. We were given Nasonex by a pharmacist in Italy and it seemed to have broken a headache he'd had almost without relief for a month. We've been using it again for the last 11 days (1 squirt per nostril) and, again, it seems to be helping. Is this just a coincidence? He does not have serious nasal blockage or sinusitus. Any similar experiences? Please contact. M
