| 1 | Shrink Nasal Polyps | Anxiety, headache, nasal pain, palpitations, raised blood pressure, lightheaded , insomnia, panic attacks, twitching in muscles, fatigue, depression, nausea, muscles spasms in neck and neck pain. | I've been feeling worse everyday, and it took 5 days to realize that maybe my problem might be this medication. I decided today to go off it to see if these problems improve. This is quite disconcerting. I really couldn't find much about a side effect of anxiety, but I found this sight and it's very interesting that most of the comments one or the other all describe these same side effects. Thanks | F | 63 | 5 days 50mcg 2X day | 12/17/2019 | 3 | Sinus related issues | Anxiety, raises blood pressure alot. Panic attacks, fuzzy head, headaches | M | 45 | 2 weeks 50mg | 11/11/2019 | 2 | Sinus ear problems | Nosebleeds daily and head aches light headed would jerk when trying to fall asleep heart palpitations | Recommended by doctor for 2 weeks usage but I’m giving up on it | F | 20 | 4 days | 11/8/2019 | 1 | Sinus and ear issues | After 3 days I experienced extreme anxiety. Insomnia and jerking when trying to fall asleep. | After stopping my throat swelled up and became sore with cold like symptoms. | F | 44 | 4 days | 10/9/2019 | 1 | Hay fever | Anxiety and overthinking, panicking if i didnt have the spray, noticed my heart beat going really fast at night and it would worry me, | F | 20 | 4 days | 9/29/2019 | 1 | non allergic rhinitis | Anxiety, chest pain/squeezing/tightness, shallow breathing, difficulty running/exercising, wheezing, nosebleeds, depression, fatigue, agitation/grumpiness | They should really do more research or explain more how it interacts with hormones. I have a hormonal disorder and I'm sure it's been a factor in why I had such bad side effects. I wish I'd stopped taking it earlier and realised the side effects were linked to the spray. Yeah sure I can breathe through my nose now but I'd rather be stuffy 24/7 than have these side effects | F | 24 | 60 days 2 spray 2X day | 9/6/2019 | 1 | Sinusitis or rhinitis | Funny burning taste in nose and throat Palpitations panicky anxiety And on edge Remembering now this has happened few times before I’m not going to use no more As already suffer anxiety and made it ten times worse | F | 54 | 2 days 50 mcg | 8/30/2019 | 1 | Acute sinusitis | Felt Terrible, anxiety, tremors, palpitations, chest pain, dry eyes, dry throat, dizziness. Came off it 3 days ago and am still having tremors and panic attacks at random. Never had any of these before taking beconase. Starting to feel so much better after buying a neti pot. But these after effects are shocking. Dr said it's safe to use and beconase is nothing to do with it. After doing my research I've found hundreds of people worldwide with the same symptoms. | A friend took one spray of this up each nostril to see if they reacted to it, straight away they had palpitations and after an hour or so starting feeling extremely panicked and jittery. Very scary. They too have sinus issues and would never use it again after trying it just the once. This needs to be written in the box as a warning. | 18 | 2 years | 7/20/2019 | 4 | Viral sinusitus | Smelt like you put pollen up your nose. Felt anxious if I missed a dose. All other symptoms many mentioned by feedback above are sinusitus symptoms. How can you know which to attribute to beconase. It's like saying paracetamol gave me a headache. | My sinusitus cleared after 17 days whether that is due to beconase or the virus clearing up who knows my GP said it usually lasts about 21 days. | F | 67 | 3 weeks 2x2 a day | 5/24/2019 | 2 | Hayfever | Took as directed and about 20 minutes later suddenly felt my heart pounding and beating out of rhythm. A bit later I felt faint and breathless, then I also felt sick and eventually got a headache too. | I’d rather have the symptoms of hayfever then the side effects from this. Definitely won’t be using again. | F | 31 | 1 days | 5/12/2019 | 1 | Sinuses hayfever | Anxiety, feeling on edge, increase in worry and triggered my ocd thoughts. Heart palpitations also and feeling like I was breathing shallow. | Needs warning on box that it is a steroid spray. Needs side effect warning for possible increase in anxiety. | F | 37 | 9 days 2 sprays | 5/1/2019 | 1 | Hayfever and sinusitis | I started feeling uneasy and anxious also had heart palpitations. I feel like my breathing is shallower. My worries are repetitive. If you are sensitive to anxiety or have ocd this may trigger symptoms as it has for me. | F | 37 | 8 days 2 sprays d | 4/30/2019 | 1 | Sinusitis | Terrible pain in forehead, felt anxious, confused, suicidal,very extreme feelings only just realised the way I was feeling was because of the beconase spray, remember using it a few years ago it made me feel confused | Will never use this spray again will look for something more natural | F | 58 | 3 weeks 2x per day 1X day | 3/24/2019 | 1 | Chronic sinusitis | Feeling very unwell headache face ache nose and throat, fuzzy headed, weak, started with chest pains that's when I stopped ...dreadful drug | F | 69 | 11 days 50mg | 2/10/2019 | 3 | Allergies | Palpitations, anxiety and shortness of breath. | This medicine stopped me from sneezing constantly but after taking it following a 2 week break i woke up in the night and felt panicky and short of breath. I am a chilled out health professional and this gave me such a fright. I used to use this every day and often felt fuzzy headed and grumpy. Will try it again after a break and if this happens again wil stop taking it. Reducing dairy helped me reduce my intake of this medicine from daily to every 14 days. | F | 43 | 2 years 1 spray | 1/5/2019 | 1 | Nasal drip | Causes a horrible sensation in the back of my throat. After the initial spray it's fine but 3 mins after it's like the stuff sits at the back of my throat and it catches my breath and causes panic and anxiety. | F | 30 | 8 weeks | 11/4/2018 | 1 | Congested sinuses | Awful dry mouth & throat which made eating difficult as food stuck in my throat. Woke up with mouth so dry my tongue was stuck to roof of my mouth. Didn’t clear the sound of water sloshing in my ears still! | M | 71 | 5 days | 9/23/2018 | 4 | Pollen allergies | I got incredibly drowsy and anxious and felt drugged after four squirts, i.e. two to each nostril over a ten-hour period. Although it did work, it took around half an hour to do so. Tight pain in my chest, resting heartbeat of 87bpm! Not a very nice feeling at all. Would only use in an emergency from now on. Loradatine 10mcg every day is better. | Works well against pollen when you are choking in the street but has horrible side effects. | F | 45 | 10 days nasal dose 2X day | 5/30/2018 | 1 | Allergy/sinusitis. Blocked nasal | Massive spinning out panic attacks and dry mouth.Feeling of breathlessness even though I could breathe..palpatations | Did initially clear my nasal passage but after day 3 of twice a day use..the panic attacks came | F | 36 | 4 days 50 mcg | 5/7/2018 | 2 | Blocked nose | Raised blood pressure hugely from 125/82 to 145/107.Does clear the blockage though. So clear nose but heart attack! | M | 49 | 4 days | 1/12/2018 |
