Obviously I don’t know you or your specific situation, but I lost 120 pounds taking Zepbound and my apnea is gone. I make sure to take fluticasone in each nostril before I sleep, but getting to a healthy weight eliminated my apnea.

If you aren’t overweight, this might not help, but hopefully it’ll help someone!

I’m 130 kg and know it’s way too much. Hard to gather the energy for loosing weight.

Can you take fluticasone permanently? Sometimes it’s like I just lie down and my nasal congestion gets worse instantly

> Can you take fluticasone permanently?

This is a surprisingly controversial question.

I've known more than one person who claims something to the effect of becoming addicted to Flonase. Like now they have to take it only to feel like how they felt before they started taking it.

Rebound inflammation when stopping use is a real effect with long-term use of corticosteroids and can, at least briefly, be worse than the initial symptoms were.

As someone with multiple mild inflammatory disorders I've always been afraid to use steroids consistently lest I have nothing effective when things are worst.

This is suppose to be a tell tale sign of deviated septum (lying down and losing airflow).
