Has anyone had severe nasal congestion taking Repatha?

Hello @con123 ,
Did your ENT provide explanation as to why this would be happening? I didn’t have your particular side effect but do hear others comment about it. It can be outright annoying, can’t it? I am learning side effects may be an indication of something bad or even good happening, your body responding to the drug. Was it your ENT that prescribed Repatha?

My cardiologist prescribed it due to statin intolerance. I deferred starting it due to chronic sinusitis since nasal congestion, cold and flu like symptoms are a common side effect. I had surgery to fix the sinusitis, and when I was feeling better, started Repatha. 3 or 4 days after the injection, I woke up severely congested. The ENT said to discuss it with my cardiologist as a probable side effect.
