| 1 | Sinusitis | Racing heart beat, overall feelings of doom, insomnia, anxiety and feeling awful all the time. Made the sinusitis much worse if anything. Do yourself a favour and get on a peleo ketogenic diet instead and invest in a steam breather! | I went to the doctors after taking this and they wanted to cart me off in an ambulance because my heart was beating so fast. Since then I've had an erratic fast heart beat, then was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Now I can't stand on my swollen legs because of the DVT in both legs and my hands are purple. I've been told I have a few days to live and got the end of life drugs on standby.

Was already feeling down but Jesus. This stuff has made way worrse since starting. I decided to take it a few hours before bed instead of just before.

I wake up every 2 hours for the toilet, then last night it was so mucn worse. Thoughts kept giving me waves of panic. Couldn't sleep, couldn't relax. Do not ever touch this medication ever! | It won't react this way with everyone but for some who are sensitive to steroids in any way shape or form please just stay clear.

Last night all the symptoms came within a couple of minutes of spraying it up my nose. I previously thought the symptoms were caused by stress of a new job and a change in my HRT regime but I actually think the spray is the cause as never felt so bad. not taking it from now on, never had anxiety like this and never felt this dreadful. Perhaps sensitive to the steroids as never had them before. | It did start to break up the congestion but not worth the side effects. | F | 54 | 7 days 2 x2 day 2X day | 9/17/2023 | 1 | Hay fever | Made me so blocked up i couldn't breathe, made me panic | F | 45 | 5 days 30 4X day | 8/28/2023 | 4 | Hayfever | I started with severe palpitations about 4 weeks ago.

BECONASE (BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE): Beclomethasone is used to prevent and control symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works by reducing the swelling of the airways in the lungs to make breathing easier. This medication must be used regularly to prevent breathing problems (attacks of wheezing/shortness of breath). It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve an asthma attack. If an attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
