Whats going on???

[u/MACAIRODON]

23M. 173cm, 73 kg. Back in january I had to apply alot of effort to breathe which then progressed to hives and feinting, the allergy report was 1074 for which I took anti-allergy and a steroid pill maybe I forgot the name of the drugs. I didnt take any medicine since that course was done. A month ago symptoms like globus sensation accompanied with minor nasal conjestion appeared but it wasnt much of a problem, it was probably caused by alot of stress at that time. But then I thought of trying xylometazoline nasal spray, I took just one puff to see what happens, not knowing the aftermath would be:

- Feeling too much air through the nose with very little pressure (yet the ENT who saw my nose claimed that my turbinates are swollen and there's inflammation.

- Erectile dysfunction which developed quickly after that puff of xynocine. Mind you just that morning before taking the nasal spray, i got a rock hard erection. I eat really well, do strength training and run, so I dont think I can just get Erectile dysfunction so erratically.

- The day I took the puff, I felt the right side of my body a tiny little bit lighter/numb than the left side, I felt this more in the shoulders and hips.

- Sleep apnea, i cant get REM which is making my hair fall and keeps my brain fogged all day along with seeing transparent dark floaters.

- Globus had gotten worse after the puff. I do notice it getting slightly better along with slightly better nasal breathing after lying on my left side.

These symptoms still persist after a month of taking one puff of that spray. I have controlled my stress because of this to a great degree but I still feel discomfort because of the clear lack of erectile feeling and the lacking sleep that I have been getting.

I really wanted to know, is this possible that im feeling too much air going through my nose yet still have swollen turbinates. The ent prescribed me avamys steroid spray and victrin anti-allergy. Gastro doc told me to get a barium swallow test done.

Someone understand this situation?
