I was prescribed a steroid nasal spray (Fluticasone: Flonase) I was on it for over 20 years. I had frequent nose bleeds, even a couple trips to the e.r. Not one Dr. told me that this medicine might be causing this! The last time I went to the e.r. with a nose bleed, as it was bleeding and wouldn’t stop no matter how much pressure I put on it, several months ago, I was told I had a hole between my nasal passages the size of a quarter! Sure enough, on the way home I put a finger up each nostril and they touched!! I was told this is what happens when you use a steroid nasal spray for too long! It would have been nice to know this BEFORE I had a hole between my nasal passages, and this explains why I have such a hard time blowing my nose! Beware steroid nasal spray use for too long! It’s not fun! 😖🤦🏻♀️🙄
I'm sorry you are going through this!! I have used nasal spray for a long time, but not 20 years.my nose bleeds, but rarely . I'll kerp an eye out. I hope your feeling better
Thank you so much for these nasal problem videos Dr O'Donovan! I have found them extremely helpful as I suffer from rhinitis, hayfever and sinusitis on and off. Do you think it is ok to use antihistamines every day as they seem to help me alot? Many thanks Sam
