One thing I noticed was when I would apply the spray without the X, I wouldn’t angle it properly and I would end up tasting it within a minute or two. I think the X shape just helps so you naturally form an angle when you spray it into your nostrils because doing it this way did not cause me to taste or cough up the medicine.

Good information here! If I ever need to use a nasal spray, I’ll know what to do! By the way, I want to thank you for something you said on one of your House Call Doctor podcasts. I’ve been getting a lot of headaches lately, and my husband told me I should go for my annual physical (at Kaiser) and bring it up then. I said, “Wait... Didn’t Dr. Majd recommend against using the preventative exam to bring up a chronic problem?” So I had to go back to the podcast archive and play #258 again to make sure. So I think I’ll make an appt. for the headache thing, and then go for the physical later.

aletabird Thank you for your very kind words and support, Aleta. You made my day. I’m sorry to hear you’re having headaches - the two most common culprits (although of course there are others) are migraines (which I’ve podcasted about) and tension headaches (i may have podcasted about, can’t exactly recall). The key is finding the trigger for both. Kaiser is great - I’m sure they’ll take great care of you. If the headaches are a concern, sometimes it’s ok to hold off on the routine, non-urgent physical. Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
@aletabird

Majd MD Thanks for your reply. It’s encouraging to hear you say that Kaiser will take good care of me. I looked for your podcast on migraines but couldn’t find it. I’m not sure if mine are migraines anyway. When I feel one coming on, I take a decongestant and sometimes it helps. Anyway, I look forward to your next video... keep up the good work!
@MajdMD

aletabird Here’s the migraine podcast i previously recorded: www.quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/womens-health/why-do-women-get-migraines. Could your headaches be sinus/allergy related (if decongestants work)? I did a video on seasonal allergies. Headaches can be complex, however, so a visit to your doc to hash it out is not a bad idea. Kaiser is a great system - i received my residency training through Kaiser and am so proud of my training there. It’s an excellent system. People just need a good primary doc they click with, just like anywhere else...

Majd MD Thanks for the link! You recorded that in 2010? Apparently I’ve missed every podcast before November 2017, because the older feeds seem to be gone. (I checked Apple podcast, Downcast, Stitcher, and Spotify.) Well, at least I could listen on my browser. I think I’ll take your advice and start a headache/food diary to learn my triggers. I don’t drink alcohol because I already KNOW it’s a trigger, and haven’t had a soda in years, but I really don’t want to stop drinking coffee because of its other health benefits. And my husband and I LOVE Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Latte dessert bars (Only 40 calories!) so I sure hope caffeine isn’t it! Anyway, I do have a PC doctor I click with... I think I lucked out when I chose her 8 years ago when I first signed up for Kaiser! I’ll start that diary now so I’m prepared when I go see her. Edit: I truly believe that I have more than one kind of headache... sometimes sinus-related because my face throbs and the decongestant helps, and sometimes migraine because it’s always on the right side and I get severe nausea from it and NOTHING helps. (Although Excedrine does, occasionally, if I catch it early enough.) So it’s going to require some detective work for sure!

Wow only 40 calories! I'll have to look for it next time i'm there! A headache diary can be very useful. There are blank ones you can find online. This is the one i hand out to my patients in clinic: www.aafp.org/fpm/2013/0500/fpm20130500p24-rt1.pdf.

I was prescribed this spray. I have bad nasal drip and a really bad cough. My doctor didn't even say for how long I should use it for. Will this spray weaken my immune system? I don't want to risk getting a weak immune system during this time. Also, is it safe to take with an SSRI - I'm taking citalopram? Should I stop taking it as soon as my cough and nasal drip goes away? Thank you.
@MajdMD
4 жыл бұрын
It often kicks in after a week's use, and i tell most of my own patients to take it for a full month (until the bottle runs out) and then stop it. But if the symptoms return, may need it longer. So the answer is that it all depends on how your allergies behave -- if it's seasonal, then it can be taken during the entire season. The intranasal steroids have not been shown to weaken your immune system like the oral steroids. And i haven't heard of a link between SSRI's and intranasal steroids. But please always run everything by your doctor to get a more personalized answer for you.
