I have severe allergies to the point that I have to take a decongestant regularly. Over trhe past few years I've developed some problems and just now am thinking they may be linked to my constant use of decongestants. Chest pain, headache, cold/numb feet and hands, stinging/pins & needles in both feet, pounding heart, anxiety, irratability, fever and several others but those are the worse. I always thought it was just me feeling bad and that I ahd some kind of rare disease that doctors coudl not find.
Just by chance I quit taking my decongestant...kinda forgot about it because my allergies seemd to let up a little and I remember about 6 months ago realizing that most of these symptoms had disappeared but I did not connect that to decongestant use. Two weeks ago I came down with a bad head cold and all the problems that go along with that so the first thing I reached for was dayquil and nyquil. The first few days were uneventful but then Inoticed about a week ago that all those old problems were returning. The constant chest pain, pounding heart, cold/stinging feet...etc.
By chance has anyone else experienced problems like this associated with decongestant use?
