Nasal Spray causing heart palpitations...

[Scouzer]

Lately I've been having wicked heart palpitations. They are extremely bothersome and unsettling. I'm only 21 FFS.

They started about two weeks ago. Coincidentally, just in the last month or two I've started taking Nasonex, a harmless RX nasal spray...

Wrong. Nothing on the pamphlets lists fucking with your heart, but it does.

I think it's absolutely nuts a widespread drug like Nasonex doesn't have a pretty serious side effect clearly labelled...

steroids. nasal sprays contain a type of steroid that you seem to be having an adverse reaction to.

Do you know how much money lobbyists from drug companies pay the law makers to label the shit they sell as harmless? You poor poor drug slave. Carry on.

Glucocorticoids augment the effects of catecholamines and angiotensin II which leads to increased cardiac output and vasoconstriction, respectively. Theres also some effect of suppressing vasodilators.

As said before, those steroids can cause it, and the drug-companies pay good money to keep people from knowing all possible sideeffects.

Translation: Nasonex has steroids which can wreck your shit. Hypertension and such...

Well played. I like getting the facts on how drugs work. :thumbsup:

what's the underlying condition?

Unless you're dying don't use nasal spray, I've known a lot of folks that have gotten seriously hooked on that shit.

It's ok for short term therapy and to help stop nosebleeeds, but otherwise don't use it on a regular basis...

I believe your thinking about epinephrine based nasal sprays. I had a bad experience with them years ago, as you get a terrible rebound effect if you use them for more than about 5 days and then stop. In fact, to get off them the doctor gave me nasonex which works differently and doesn't have a rebound effect.

I feel for allergy sufferers. They are looking for anything to give them some relief.

OP, have you thought about allergy shots?

The frightening thing is, I actually understood that. I take way too many allergy drugs.

I have chronic rhinitis. I don't think it's caused by anything. My nose just sucks.

I can barely breath out of my nose on the best of days. The passages are barely ope. The Nasonex does the trick (sometimes) and allows me to breath out of it for a few hours
