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)

 1  Nasal operation I have a continued nosebleeding,shortness of breathing and feeling dizzy. I also developed a skin rash. To top it up, my heart beats so fast and it feels like it comes out of my chest. I am a very fit person who plays tennis 4/5 times a week and also go to the gym. I try my best to eat healthily. I very, very rarely take any medicines. To feel so uncomfortable like this can only be blamed on using Beconase. I have now stopped using it. No nose bleed, nose is clear, heart is more stable and the rash has stopped itching as well. Unfortunately, Beconase is not for me! F 54 4 days

 1  Blocked sinus Nose bleed, aniexty, weight gain, cotton wool head, sore throat, dry mouth, sore eyes My consultant suggested this. It did help with the blocked nose, but after tracing back side effects to when I started this, I now use neilrinse twice daily to cleanse my nose, much better. I hadn't realised how sensitive I am to the steroids in it. F 60 20 months

 1  Sinusitis Feelings of anxiety, nervousness, nausea and uncoordinated. I have always suffered from anxiety etc to a certain degree but this medicine certainly made the symptoms a lot worse. My wife (a retired nurse practitioner) said that some steroids could have this effect. It helped the sinusitis but I will not be taking it again because of the anxiety side effects. M 64 14 days

 1  Post nasal drip Absolutely no benefit regarding the nasal drip but after 6 weeks I started to have feelings of anxiety which interfered with my sleep and caused my bp to rise. I stopped using it 2 days ago and hope to feel better soon! I would rather put up with the nasal drip than the awful feelings of stress and anxiety. F 67 2 months

 1   Dizziness, nausea, head feels very peculiar almost wobbly, shortness of breath Was prescribed Beconase years ago for hayfever but had to stop because caused nosebleeds. Recently prescribed Beconase for sinusitis and have just taken first dose. I feel awful...woozy head, can't quite describe it, almost like when your legs go like jelly except its in the head and my chest feels like I can't breathe properly...doctors should be used as guinea pigs for these drugs so when they speak about them, they can speak from experience. I won't be taking any more. I'll go back to using Sinuforce instead. Horrible stuff! F 42 1 days

 1  For Hayfever After the initial spray there was burning sensation. After 5 minutes when I was expecting relief; my nose appeared more blocked which then resulted in making my breathing worse. I also experienced periods of dizziness and a dry cough and the day after a sore throat I normally use a Optirex a nasal spray for hayfever I think the concentration may be higher in Optirex although the product is actually cheaper. It gives more or less instant results that last for me personally for about 10 hours the only downside is it can sometimes give you a weird taste down the back of your throat however this is momentarily and often goes after a minute or so F 25 1 days

 1  post nasal drip back throat On the second day when I took the first dose, (twice daily) 50mcg 180 controlled doses the sensation was extremely strong in my left sinus and I became dizzy, my heart beHan to race and the room went black. After lying for a while I wondered if I should call 999. I made it to my pharmacy 20 minutes later but was still shaking uncontrolably for help where they said that this medication is safe and that sometimes it might be a little peppery. It's been 6 hours and I'm still feeling unwell especially on the left side of my head and neck. F 45 2 days

 1  Trouble breathing through nose Anxiety, irritable, anger, mood swings. Nose felt a lot better but the cost is too high I tried this spray a few years ago and stopped as I didn't feel right. My GP assured it couldn't be this. This time with me, I know I have a problem with it. The leaflet didn't mention these possible effects - its only after digging I realised the issue. On a plus side, my nose did feel a lot better, but I am not using it again! M 42 21 days

 4  Year round allergies Nosebleeds Definately helped my post nasal drip, I was experiencing thick clots of green phlegm, especially from back of throat. I have had a dry throat and nosebleeds using it, but nothing I can't handle. Dosage was 2 pumps each nostril twice a day, then reduce to 1 pump each nostril once allergy was under control. I can't comment on the anxiety comments, I can't imagine that such a small dosage could affect you like that. I haven't had a cold since October 2012, so I can't comment on the immune response either. F 43 1 years
