r/nonallergicrhinitis

Doctor said to try it for a month. Google says within 24 hours.

So I've been taking Flonase for 6 days and I've noticed that I'm having heart palpitations/anxiety and my chest and throat feel tight and sometimes when I laugh I get these coughing fits and I can't breathe well. I'm definitely stopping it immediately. But has anyone else experienced this while taking Flonase? And how long before the side effects went away after you stopped?

Max dose iptratropium 0.006 for 2 months, nose was still running, it was better, maybe 60% better but still stuffy and wet, added fluticasone and oxymetazoline and tried Dymista, salt water spray, 75% better, this is what we have in Sweden considered the max stack for non allergic rhinitis, my nose runs 24/7 all day everyday, 365 days a week, worse when eating, I do feel improvement like I said, 75% at most, is this what I should be expecting? Maybe people don't get more relief but yeah it's a miserable thing to have. I saw a post on here where someone had a nose running 24/7 just like, 365 days a year and "fixed it" with iptratropium 0.06% so I don't know if I got some terminator nose wreaking havoc or what lol.

I have minor allergies during all the year, and easily catch rhinitis (both non allergic and allergic depending the circumstances) at the slightest change in weather, and after I caught Covid, the symptoms became much worse and unbearable.

As I am writing this, I have a disgusting, absolutely awful taste in the throat, thick mucus that spoils the taste of everything I eat, and I also smell it in my nose. Sometimes it also makes me throw up and I feel like I am Gollum.

Is there any cure besides the usual spray for nose and throat to diminish the symptoms? In case of allergies I just take cetirizine but when it’s non allergic there is nothing much to do.

I have suffered from chronic Non-Allergic Rhinitis/Sinusitis for years with symptoms including constant runny nose, post nasal drainage, sinus pressure/headaches, fatigue, and what I describe as a “spaced out” or brain fog feeling.

I recently started researching Posterior Nasal Nerve (PNN) treatments, specifically the RhinAer procedure, which uses radiofrequency treatment to calm the overactive nasal nerves that can cause chronic drainage and congestion.

I’m interested in hearing from anyone who has had:

•    RhinAer

•    NeuroMark

•    ClariFix

•    Other PNN procedures

 

I would especially like to know:

•    Did it help your drainage and pressure?

•    Did it improve fatigue or brain fog symptoms?

•    How difficult was the procedure and recovery?

•    How long did results last?

 Thanks
