For Sinus Symptoms "This was the worst experience of side effects with this nasal spray! It exacerbated my anxiety, and gave me heart palpitations, not to mention pressure behind my eyes. OMG, it was so bad. I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know this till I Googled! So many have complained of the same things! Heart palpitations and eye pain were the worst! I will stick to my saline nasal spray! This stuff is really nasty!"

For Nasal Polyps "I was prescribed by my doctor Nasonex for my polyps. I used it on and off for a couple of years, but only yesterday did it dawn on me that all this while, whenever I felt sickly with a very dry throat, difficulties in breathing, wheezing, trembling hands, dizziness, pressure behind my eyes, headache, muscle pains, neck pain, blurred vision, loss of balance, ear pains, difficulties in swallowing, and chest pains, it was all from after using Nasonex! I thought what was wrong with me. I even went to an emergency room thinking I was getting a stroke or a heart attack. Then I realized last night that all these symptoms only occur whenever I use Nasonex, but whenever I stopped using it, all of these symptoms would subside. So, I Googled for reviews and saw so many people have experienced these bad side effects. I wish I knew sooner!"
