 5  Nasal allergy symptoms Mild headache for the first 2 days. This is a WONDERFUL MEDICINE:):):) .. before Nasonex I was sneezing daily more than several times a day.. I was coughing from postnasal drip, I had severe nasal congestion and chronic rhinitis and was totally miserable Indoors and outside. I have tried other nasal sprays, but they didnt work. I even tried oral antihistamines like Allegra and Clarinex, but it didnt work for me. I finally decided to give Nasonex a try and within 2 days I was actually able to breathe through my nose again, and I sneezed a lot less. Within a week after use I still sneeze {Occasionally } and I no longer have runny nose and congestion. My cough is gone since I no longer have postnasal drip. Im breathing a lot easier now, and sleeping better at night. Thank God for this Wonderful Medicine :):):):) F 30 1 months

 1  nasal blockage, congestion My heart has been 'fluttering', very un-nerving. Horrible headaches, dry throat, pain in my right eye and increased pressure in my head. I actually feel more blocked and more pressure than before! Not to mention the scary heart palpitations...I've only been taking this product for 2 days! So glad I found this site, as I'll now be chucking it in the bin. F 26 2 days

 2  Sinus Infection Horriable sneezing (like 100 times a day, I'm not kidding), and dry itchy eyes This product was horriable and I have never sneezed more. It would start about 30 minutes after I sprayed it and it didn't stop until about 24 hours after. F 28 6 days

 1  Nasal Inflammation Severe heart palpatations, anxiety and insomnia. Thank God for this site - I thought I was going crazy! I have severe heart palpations and anxiety and didn't make the connection to Nasonex until coming to this site. I had an EKG and 24 monitor earlier this week b/c of these severe side effects and my doc noticed lots of PVC's - still waiting on results, but I can honestly say I've felt like I was having a heart attack since I began Nasonex 3 weeks ago. I'm still having irregular heart beats constantly but will not use this product again and hope it doesn't take too long to get out of my system. F 38 3 weeks

 3  Seasonal Allergies My daughter has been using Nasonex off and on (depending on the season) for a couple of years. During this time she has gone through what I thought were normal bouts of getting up at night, saying her ear hurts, etc. All things I thought were excuses to come into or even sleep in our roon. By 4am this morning, and my daughters 5th or so trip in (since 2:30) to tell me she couldnt sleep, I started to think of what this could possibly be, other than our knowing she is afraid of the dark. Since birth she has never been a great sleeper, so I just chucked it up as all sorts of issues lumped together. In short, she is coming off Nasonex today. After reading all these posts, I'll bet she sleeps great tonight. F 8 2 years

 3  chronic sinusitus dizziness, blurry vision, sleeping disruption, shortness of breath, irritability After taking this medication for a few months on and off I've noticed that I am often dizzy and have had blurry vision. I didn't attribute the side effects to Nasonex until recently and just started reading these other experiences. I am now convinced that the Nasonex must be the cause of these problems since I am normally a very healthy, athletic person who should not be short of breath or dizzy to the point of passing out. It seems to work great in clearing up my nasal problems but I am going to stop it b/c of the side effects. F 38 3 months

 2  Allergies & Mild Sinus Infection Light-headedness and some trouble sleeping Have never experienced this slightly dizzy feeling before beginning Nasonex. And, have not been sleeping soundly since starting this drug. Of course I can't be sure Nasonex is the cause of the problems but shortly after "spraying" this morning that lousy, light-headed feeling returned - and it hadn't been with me all morning. I will discontinue use. M 57 10 days

 1  Rhinitis The spray worked great at first. It was a sample pack from Dr. to get me started. Suggested that my breathing would probably improve after two weeks. Wow,the fisrt night amazing results. It was first time I could sleep a full night without nose strips. o After about two weeks of use develop a sore throat. Within couple of days it was like I had an apple in my throat and swallowing became very painfull! I developed a very dry and painfull cough. After another week I started to get pains in my chest and what I had thought was very bad heartburn. My heart felt like it was beating out of control and I also thought someone was standing on my chest. So much for my good night sleeps as even though I could breath freely I was paying for this in other ways. I enjoy a cold beer and the other night I had one and it was one of the most painfull experiances attempting to swallow as it burned all the way down. I didn't make the connection with the spray but that is why I am posting this. I thought I have had 3 nasal surgeries due a sports accident while in high school. This past spring I had decided to seek advise form another Doctor as my breathing was terible especially at night while trying to sleep. When she looked ino my nasal cavity with a scope she suggested that past sugery worked well and she could no improve what had been done. She did make menion that I had rinitis??? and felt hat If I tried nasonex that It should work well. M 49 6 weeks

 1  sinusitis Heart palpitations Its very disturbing that the maker of this does not mention this common side effect. I do not feel safe taking it. Also because it can cause Rhinitis, viral infections, etc it may make the original problem worse. Most of the information out there states that these steroid sprays are topical and do not pose a threat from systemic side effects. Even steroid creams can be absorbed and cause problems! Any time a corticosteroid is used no matter the dosage form, there are risks, these are dangerous drugs! MY HEART FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO BEAT RIGHT OUT OF MY CHEST! They may have a cute little bee on their tv commercial but there is nothing cute about this drug. M 25 2 weeks

 1  constant nasal allergies My son was given nasonex to treat his runny nose and congestion... well almost immediately he became a different little boy. He's normally very sweet and cuddly and after the 1st days of the prescription he was moody and would yell at me - completely disobedient and irritable. It was a verrrry noticeable change and I was at my wits end with him until it dawned on me that the nasonex could be to blame. We called the ENT who prescribed this med and were told that it did not get into the blood stream and could not be causing the problems we were experiencing... But, a week after we have gotten rid of the nasonex my son is starting to come back to normal ... the only change is that his nose is stuffy again... I am currently researching what else to give him but i know it WON'T be nasonex! M 6 3 weeks

 3  allergies, seasonal/pet Have used off and on for a few years. Just started using it again and after a week I noticed my right eye sometimes felt like it had glass in it, and is very dry. Sharp stabbing pain in my right eye near my nose. Blinking makes it worse. When I sprayed my nasal passages this morning I immediately had another sharp stabbing pain in my eye and burning in my nose. This caused me to suspect the Nasonex. I had lasik a few years ago and my eyes are somewhat drier anyway now, so I am probably susceptible to this. I thought I was just outside too much in the sun/wind and my eye dried a little, maybe I'm not hydrated enough and need to drink more water, etc. Now I am thinking this sudden onset of eye pain and extra dryness is very likely associated with the Nasonex. I will stop again and see if the eye pain goes away. Glad I found this site and that others have commented on the dry eyes. Not a side effect that they tell you about in the literature. M 44 7 days
