Has anyone had severe nasal congestion taking Repatha?

@con123, That happened after my first 2 doses of Repatha, in fact I felt for 4 days like I had a cold. After a month, it didn't happen again - when I looked it up, it was one of the top 5 side effects.
In about the 3rd month, I had a backache for a couple days after 2 injections, but that is also gone.
Now, after almost a year on Repatha, my only symptom is feeling very tired the day of or day after my injection.
I'll live with it - statins we're a nightmare for me, and Repatha lowered my LDL by over 50% at 5 months. Waiting on the latest lipid panel results.

Strangely my LDL decreased 50% over the 8 months I was taking NO cholesterol meds. and was in desired range but he wanted me to take Repatha to get the total number lower. Horrible pain with statins. I’ve had this congestion for a full week and next shot is due on Tuesday. I’m skipping it and discussing with my Dr. I was hoping I could tolerate it. The bruise at the injection site is just starting to fade.
