Question 1

could flonase be adversely affecting my sleep and anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Not Likely: The absorption of Flonase into the body is very minimal.  In addition it is deactivated it's first pass through the liver so it is very unlikely that it is the cause of changes in your sleep or anxiety patterns.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

No: These side effects are not usually attributed of Flonase or withdrawal from Flonase.

Question 3

major health anxiety, had cbc, wbc 11.1 and neutrophils 8.2. did an intense hot yoga before test and take flonase. all other tests in range. concern?

Accepted Answer

Doubt significance: Why did you obtain your blood count in the first place? Slight elevations of blood counts can be caused by many different yet benign causes. We need to look at the complete blood counts(CBC). If you are concerned get another CBC in one or two weeks,just to see if it settles down under 10,000 or not(That would be normal)

Question 4

for 2 weeks ive been getting a come & go pain on the top/back right side of my head. not a constant headache. im on allergy meds/flonase. i also get on & off sinus pressure. i have a lot of anxiety. based on that,what could the come and go pain be?

Accepted Answer

Headache:  I am wondering if you might have tension headaches related to your anxiety. The sinus pressure might contribute to pain as well. Your doctor can make an accurate determination through evaluation.

Question 5

i have a deviated septum and chronic rhinitis/congestion all year long. ent told me to spray flonase corticosteroid. if i use this daily will it damage my nose or weaken my immune system? does it make anxiety disorders worse?

Accepted Answer

: Locally applied steroid nasal sprays are metabolized (used &amp; broken down) at the site of application. No amount in high enough quantity to affect your immune system is absorbed into the blood. It will also not damage your nose if used as directed. These meds are available over the counter in many forms because they have a proven safety profile over many years before OTC status was granted.

Question 6

please tell me can fluticasone furoate cause change in mood or anxiety for people with these problems?

Accepted Answer

Not specifically.: It does give  flu-like feelings which includes headaches, nose-bleeds, fever which can be mistaken for depression and for people who already have depression and anxiety, it would  make these conditions worse because they don't feel physically well.

Question 7

what's better than flonase?

Accepted Answer

All about the same: All of the topical steroids have about equal efficacy (activity) and safety.  I do not think changing from Flonase to another topical steroid will significantly change your nasal function.  Remember, these drugs are specifically used for allergic and non-allergic rhinitis.  Check with an allergist.  Finally, although these topical steroids are about the same, some people do prefer a particular one.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Nasal steroid. : Flonase is the brand name of a nasal steroid spray used for allergic rhinitis.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Flonase: The chemical is fluticasone propionate, if it is present in flixonase, it is the same

Question 10
