Wow, that's all I can say. I started suffering with allergies pretty bad this March. Terrible headaches and ended up with two sinus infections. My doctor, after doing a sinus x-ray, sent me to an allergist who did a scratch test and a needle prick test with 28 shots. I am allergic to dust, dust mites, some trees and cats. He said that I should just do Mucinex and Nasonex. I've been noticing that my pulse rate is up and flutters. I wasn't sure what would cause that. I monitor my bp pretty regularly since having to get off of bp medicine due to a severe adverse reaction from that. I just assumed I was going to have to go back on bp med to control rapid pulse even thought the bp was in the normal range. This whole medicine thing is maddening. I am going to try and not take it tomorrow and see what happens. The weird thing is I use the Nasonex in the morning but the rapid pulse doesn't show up until the evening. Could Nasonex still be the cause??

I use Nasonex for allergies and I have never had a side effect from it.

I used it on and off for about two years, and recently started taking it again due to allergies... I use it sporadically, when I feel I need it. Anyway, I have had a problem about 3 times since the beginning of the year with horrible congestion, and tightness in my chest and lots of flem. It's like a sinus infection without the fever, that turns into bronchitis, but it's not that. I realized over the weekend, that this happens every time I have horrible allergies and use Nasonex. It takes weeks to get over the symptoms. I have decided after reading all of the other posts to NOT take it anymore...

My daughter was put on Nasonex last year for mild fall allergies, which had just been diagnosed. She ended up with heart palpitations, shortness of breath, anxiousness and night terrors. Once I finally made the connection with Nasonex , after three weeks, we had her stop using it and she was fine. During that time she hardly slept was afraid to play soccer because of the heart palps and ended up having a heart ultrasound because our doctor was so concerned. We since use an over the counter med on bad allergy days and she uses an over the counter menthol inhaler during soccer games. For us these alternatives help enough to make up for the bad side effects of Nasonex. By the way, our doctor doesn't agree, we came up with alternatives by talking to other parents. My doctor still keeps asking if we need a refill even though I've insisted she will never take it again.

I took Nasonex because I have a post nasal drip, and allergies. After taking for about 1 week, I had a raw throat and my voice became weak and hoarse. I stopped Nasonex last week and my voice is getting stronger every day. Also, I have the feeling of pressure in my ears. Anyone experience voice problems while on this?

I just used Nasonex to help with allergies, and the INSTANT the spray went in my left nostril, I felt a twinge under my lip. I looked in the mirror and a white bump had appeared, and I could feel tenderness right through my lip to the inside of my mouth. it almost itches, and has started to swell. has anyone had this happen? How LONG does it LAST????
I also used it this morning (I lost the instructions, so I'm worried if my over use is the reason I'm feeling icky.), and it made me feel sick to my stomach and I had pms-like cramps for an hour.
I'm really worried, and though it almost immediately began to help my runny nose, I will NEVER use this product again. I mean, I pride myself on a keen sense of smell (I can smell the water a day before it rains, and I can tell exactly what the neighbor across the street is cooking lol).
