Hi doctor, I am stress-free and moderately active person. I play sports two to three times a week and have no other major health problem such as hypertension, hyperthyroidism, high cholesterol, etc. I have been using Rhinocort Aqua once a day on each nostril for four years and recently I have experienced issue of sleeplessness and insomnia. I just got to know that Rhinocort is a type of cortisol medication and it was understood that elevated cortisol can lead to sleeping problems. Is it likely that Rhinocort is behind my recent sleeping issue?
Hi. Drug induced insomnia. Check TSH. Hyperthyroidism and caffeine induced insomnia. 1. Tapering of the nasal spray and watching sleep pattern. 2. Discontinuation of any caffeine two to three hours before bedtime and no alcohol during that time as well. Revert back after three to four weeks to an internal medicine physician online.--->
