Does Flonase cause migraine headaches?

Flonase cause migraine headaches some how can be said but medically 100% cannot be proven. when i used to face from migraine i was tired of consuming pills and treatment and i move my self toward natural therapy (herbalism). i could se improvements in myself after few months.

I posted 15 days ago with suspicion that Flonase cause me terrible thunderclap headaches, 3 times as painful as my regular migraines, immediately inducing nausea, tunnel vision and vomiting. I said that i would post an update and I am. On the day I posted this I discontinued Flonase. The thunderclap headaches stopped 2-3 days later, but for the next 10 days I endured a constant right-sided headache I would go to bed with and get up with. It was worse when lying down and bending over. Typically I never have migraine for more than a day or two at a time. During the course of those 10 days I was a bit worried something was seriously wrong. Thankfully Tylenol and Naproxen were effective in reducing the pain. 3-days after I discontinued Flonase - the thunderclap headaches immediately triggered by exercise and stress were gone. 13 days after I discontinued Flonase - the constant right-sided headache was completely gone. It's been two days now that I am pain free. I definitely believe Flonase was the cause. These thunderclap headaches were so intensely painful and disabling that I know I will never again use an oil-based nasal corticosteroid. For me the connection is genuine - I have never experienced headaches with such fast onset and so painful before Flonase. I have never experienced a constant one-sided headache occurring for 10 days in a row before either. Both of these troubling symptoms are gone now that I am off Flonase.

Am sensitive to medications, supplements, foods and many medications cause me intense headaches. Doc thought Flonase would help allergies but this is my second time trying it in the morning and landing with a whopping pounding headache by the evening. Just Googled the connection, just in case, and here it is. Won't try it again. Two out of two is enough experimenting for me! Don't know if it is technically a migraine, but it is so strong there is no sleep and can't walk around as brain feels like it is sloshing about in my head throbbing around. Frontal lobe and temporal primarily with pain down at the base of the skull and neck as well.

I have had the exact same experience. I never had an ocular migraine until I had used Flonase for about two years. I had my vision checked and thoroughly tested and there were no issues. As soon as I stopped using Flonase, the ocular migraines went away. Also had this constant pressure in my head that went away as well.

I used to love Flonase but yes, it causes me to have massive headaches :(

Wow - seeing these comments is amazing. I had infrequent, mostly visual auras, with rare migraine headache pain, since I was a teen. As an adult, they happened maybe once per year.

18 months ago, my doctor had me use Flonase for an ear problem (to clear up the eustachian tubes). I continued to use it periodically for hay fever allergies and when I had a cold.

Within a few months, the frequency of visual auras increased, and I didn't know why. By December, of 2022, when I had a head cold and used it nearly every day, I had visual auras every other day, and then they started happening every day, sometimes twice. I stopped having coffee, thinking that was the trigger - and cases dropped dramatically but still happened about once per week.

Two weeks ago, I wondered if Flonase was a trigger. Ending Flonase has ended all visual disturbances. 100% gone. This is the longest I've gone without an aura in about 5 months - I think in another week or two, this will be confirmed.

An 18-month nightmare has come to an end.
