Does Taking Benadryl And Flonase Together Cause Dizziness?

I was in the hosptal for bowel blockage (relieved, they started flonase due to nasal blockage. I also on occasion at night used benadryl when blockage of nostrils were not relieved. Can both of these together cause a flush feeling and a passing dizziness but not to the point of getting real dizzy

Hello,

Flonase nasal spray contains Fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid. It can cause CNS side effect like dizziness. Benadryl contains Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine. It also can cause CNS side effect like dizziness. Both drugs taken together can have additive effects of dizziness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
