Anxiety from Flonase

Question

Asked for Male, 26 Years

Started using Flonase a week back and out of the blue I’ve been hit with crippling anxiety. A feeling of unreality and I get anxious out of the blue. Could this be caused by the steroid? I stopped taking it when this started to happen but it just set me off.
