Mometasone nasal for Allergic Rhinitis "This medicine should be taken off the shelves. My doctor prescribed it because I have really bad allergies and from the third day after using it, my throat got tight and dry making me feel as if I couldn't breathe. One week later, I'm still having nosebleeds from it, my head is spinning, eyes are very heavy. I think I've got every single bad side effect from it. Terrible, terrible, terrible!!! I stopped using it right away! How does the FDA approve something like that, it's beyond me!!!"

Mometasone nasal for Sinus Symptoms "The Nasonex caused crazy anxiety, super dizzy and weird visual things like afterimages from lights that would last 5 minutes. Waking up in the middle of the night totally dizzy and spinning. It might work well, I'm not sure because I had to stop using it. The visual stuff freaked me out too much."

Mometasone nasal 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!"

Mometasone nasal for Allergic Rhinitis "Negligible improvement of chronic rhinitis. Multiple nasty side effects including headaches, sore throat, muscular aches in throat, neck, and back as far down as the kidneys, occasional dizziness. These symptoms started after about a week of one puff per nostril per day, and they are persisting six weeks after stopping use of this product. It is like having a mild dose of influenza without any fever or elevated body temperature. It might work for some people, but for me, it is very bad news."

For Sinus Symptoms "Well, I used the first dose of mometasone nasal of two pumps in each nostril for sinus problems - and will never use it again! Six days later, I still feel dizzy all the time, blurry vision, tired. I just hope today is the last day of it. After an hour of the dose, my left side of the face was swelling, I felt shaky, had flashing in my eyes. I was in a panic. The next day, I couldn’t keep still, my heart was racing. It carried on all week. I went to the hospital, they said severe reaction, never use it again. My face had swollen more and around my throat. They said I would be okay to come home and that the swelling would go away, but day six now, I am so hoping it will be gone soon."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Always suffered with sinus problems, but about six months ago, I started to do a sinus rinse about three times a week. And one side of my sinus cleared. But the other side still felt blocked. Went to the doctor, they prescribed mometasone nasal spray. After three days of using, my sinuses felt really dry. Was getting headaches, felt dizzy. I came off it. I will persevere with my sinus wash."

For Sinus Symptoms "Thank the Lord I found this thread and saw that I’m not the only one who had a bad reaction. I binned this after one use because I have had a pounding headache all day, as well as dizziness, literally walking into things, and have also just had diarrhea. My nose breathing feels sore, like after a heavy head cold, and my throat feels dry and tight. I’ve even felt very low and anxious after feeling great this morning before using it. I will stick to salt water sprays rather than risk this again."

For Sinus Symptoms "I started off with blurred vision. I thought it was my contact lenses, so I made an appointment at my optician's for another check-up, which I not long had. My nose felt like it was being wedged open, and like a hangover feeling in my head. The last straw was not an hour after I used it. I went upstairs, I felt light-headed over one eye. I sat on the bed and flopped back. I was so dizzy this frightened me, so I told my GP, who said don't take it again. I am just waiting for it to leave my system. It's left me nervous and feeling a bit down. I have only used it for a week. Never again."

For Sinus Symptoms "My doctor prescribed this product to help post-nasal drip, which was affecting my ears. After the first couple of days of using this product, I felt dizziness, really bad anxiety, and flu-like symptoms. I was so tired I could barely climb up the stairs. I also felt like it brought on symptoms similar to a bladder infection. I saw a doctor to test for a bladder infection, and she said it’s a possible side effect of this medication. I’ve been off this product for a week now, and the anxiety, racing heart, and dizziness are better but still lingering."

For Sinus Symptoms "Two daily sprays in each nostril for severe congestion (unable to breathe out of nose). Works great for this issue, it's amazing how good it feels to not breathe like a dog anymore, but does have side effects. The worst being heart palpitations and my tolerance for caffeine/stimulants. Before taking this drug, I was able to drink soda/fizzy drinks with no problem, but now must monitor these carefully. Drank too much before I knew and had extremely strong palpitations that lasted over 4 hours. If I feel them now, they will settle quickly if I start moving and burning some energy. Occasionally (once every 3 months roughly), I will go through a 3-4 day period of having sore sinuses, and bending down is uncomfortable thanks to the pressure, didn't ever have this before. Last noticeable side effect is the odd spell (two 2-day periods) of vertigo, which I have never experienced before until taking mometasone, which would make my head spin randomly while standing and even while laying down."
