My daughter was put on Nasonex last year for mild fall allergies, which had just been diagnosed. She ended up with heart palpitations, shortness of breath, anxiousness and night terrors. Once I finally made the connection with Nasonex , after three weeks, we had her stop using it and she was fine. During that time she hardly slept was afraid to play soccer because of the heart palps and ended up having a heart ultrasound because our doctor was so concerned. We since use an over the counter med on bad allergy days and she uses an over the counter menthol inhaler during soccer games. For us these alternatives help enough to make up for the bad side effects of Nasonex. By the way, our doctor doesn't agree, we came up with alternatives by talking to other parents. My doctor still keeps asking if we need a refill even though I've insisted she will never take it again.
