Dude, you're supposed to swallow it, not sniff it! :tongue::biggrin1:

Seriously, I hadn't heard of that side effect before. So I googled it and came up with this http://books.google.com/books?id=UfXJiYkCGSgC&pg=PA264&lpg=PA264&dq=viagra+causes+sinus+congestion&source=web&ots=RqnQ6bo40R&sig=1CBqGC7R5RPZ44EH9iTTwqqdnLE&hl=en.
That doesn't get rid of your sinus congestion but at least you know you arent alone.

I really don't remember the sinus problem but they do give me a minor headache the next morning, nothing major just enough to annoy me.

Yes Sinus congestion is a side effect of viagra.

 

[herkimer snow]

True, my sinuses are always congested for a while. Then it goes away after 20 minutes. Worth it, though

It is definitely a VERY common effect. Same for Levitra and any other PDE5 inhibitor.

I combat it by taking one squirt of nasal spray in each nostril the same nights I use Viagra. Evens everything up.

Is this vasomotor rhinitus? I've been enduring this for two months and it's awful.

 

[ActionBuddy]

What about Ciallis? Same prob?

 

[chavous]

they all give you the same side effects,it can be sinus congestion or a runny nose. a headache is very common along with increased heart rate.

Come to Georgia rec3000, I bet I can keep you up for 4 hours without the little blue pill. :flirt: :wink:

Viagra and Cialis both tend to cause stuffy noses, because they cause engorgement of the sinus tissues with blood, just as they do for the penis. Nasal sprays such as NeoSynephrine or 4-Way (or others with the same active ingedients) will immediately relieve the stuffiness. However, use the spray sparingly, because over-use can make the nasal symptoms worse. Further, too much of the spray can actully reduce the effect of the pill on your penis. So don't use the spray until you need it, and then use the minimum necessary.
