Oxymetazoline Nasal Drops Could Not Sleep (Top voted first)

Updated

Recently bought Oxymetazoline nasal spray. I have COPD emphysema. I spent the whole night coughing with no sleep. Has anyone heard of this happening? Thank you

Yes, it has been known to cause that, and a product warning instructs you to consult your doctor if this occurs, and the nasal spray doesn't alleviate your symptoms. Other side effects of Oxymetazoline may include funny taste, runny nose, burning nose.

Are you on any other medications? Did you try sleeping with your head slightly elevated?

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. I was diagnosed COVID positive in March, and I'm still experiencing symptoms like brain fog, nausea, poor memory, and taste, as well as general flu symptoms and limb pain. I'm 72 years old and really sick of feeling this way. I also have asthma and COPD, and I get really congested in my head. Unfortunately, the oxymetazoline spray is the only thing that gives me slight relief, but I've been told I should have only used it for a few days. Do you know anything about this spray, and will I really go through hell trying to stop using it as my neighbor said? I already feel awful with COVID. My doctor just said to buy over-the-counter paracetamol, which hasn't been helpful at all. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
