Hello doctor,I started taking Flonase at night for hay fever and when I wake up in the morning I am having wheezing and my chest is tight. I do not want to stop taking it because it is so helpful for my allergy symptoms but I am really worried about this side-effect. Current medications are Cymbalta 120 mg/day and Suboxone 5 mg/day and Sprintec. I am a 29-year-old female with height 5'1" and weight 108 lbs.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Flonase (Fluticasone) is an intranasal steroid spray that has very less systemic absorption. It will help relieve allergy symptoms and will not cause wheezing. In fact, for wheezing, you may need another steroid, like an inhalant steroid using inhaler or Rotavap (rotary evaporator). Budesonide or Seroflo and Salbutamol are such inhalers.
