It’s very unlikely for inhaled steroid causing such problems in so short time , inhalers are usually very safe mode of therapy in comparison to systemic therapy . You should consult your pulmonologist for further clarification and planning

Your symptoms are unrelated to the inhaler you are using. Consult a general physician for your symptoms and no need to change the inhaler
