Yes, Nasivion nasal spray can cause the aforementioned side effects. Nasivion (oxymetazoline) is commonly prescribed for symptomatic relief of nasal congestion caused by various conditions including the common cold, sinusitis, hay fever, and allergies. It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nose reducing swelling and congestion. The nasivion nasal spray can also cause dizziness, headache, fast, irregular, or pounding heartbeats, and nervousnes. Based on the history given you seem to be suffering from the side effects caused nasivion spray. Stop using the nasivion nasal spray and consult your doctor for further evaluation and for an alternate effective but a safer medicine for the symptomatic relief of acute sinusitis.
