Question: I have been falling over backwards and to my left side when I try to get out of bed and/or stand up since Sunday and it is Wednesday. I saw a nurse practitioner at Walgreen's Monday and she prescribed flonase for diagnosis of viaral cold and congested sinuses without ear infection. I used it for 3 doses as ordered: 1 spray in each nostril twice a day. Then I became nauseated, I had a severe hot flash for the first time, yesterday. I stopped taking it. I had my uterus removed when I was 42 due to fibroid tumor. I have to use natural progesterone cream or I can't sleep at all for days. I had ringing in ears for years. There is heavy snow outside and I planned on going to urgent care tomorrow if I don't get better the dizziness is slightly better after I started drinking gatorade last night. thank you I also have a diagnosis of complex partial seizure disorder and take tegretol 150 mg at night. before I took the medicine I had slight dizziness, never this bad and also I fell asleep standing up and had staring episodes. It is a lot better now except for the recent situation. I have used the tegretol for 20 years. It helped a lot. I don't fall asleep standing up anymore.

the dizziness was a problem before I took flonase.
