Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I started using Flonase for my allergies as directed by my ENT. after 2 weeks, I started to wake up from sleep with severe dizziness. I also became very dizzy if I moved quickly, sat up , bent down , etc. i stopped taking the Flonase but still have the symptoms. Can this be from the Flonase and about how long will it linger on

Hi, Thanks for the query. Flonase is lically acting steroid... it does not have any side effect to cause dizziness. It can be due to accompaning anti allergic pill ... whichhas known side effect of sleepiness/dizziness. Secondly allergy might have involved ear inglammation or infection... which can cause dizziness/vertigo. Thirdly..change in number of spectacles can cause it. Please consult your ENT surgeon for management of the symptom . Thanks.
