Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

If your blood pressure is well controlled, I would be OK to use Flonase for a short while (less than two weks) while properly monitoring your blood pressure. If it falls too low, you would to gradually stop the drug. Taking it for a short while being cautious of any side effects or unusual feeling is ok.

Thanks and kind regards. Please, feel free asking further questions in case of need. Wishing you good health.
