Every Morning I Run my TPN like at about 6AM,

I'll tend to snack on something and sometimes fall asleep after a snack for like 20-30min.
after about a half hour when i wake up.. I feel a little jittery and dry.. and my heart feels a little more tachy, or faster.

why is that? when you eat and fall asleep.. does somethin happen? confused. it's scary cus im dealing with fast heart rate right now and little things like this bother me.

Oh, and does prednisone affect heart rate during the day?

For me, Prednisone increases my heart rate tremendously, especially if you are on a higher dose. I always feel like I am having an anxiety attack.

i never had any problems being on TPN and falling asleep. when i was in the hospital on it i would get the lipids at about 8pm and take my dilaudid iv and go to sleep, the sugary stuff ran all day. i also never had any problems with the prednisone (other then i become dependant on it) but then again maybe i am just used to have a fast heart rate because mine is up always. no matter if im on that stuff or not.

My heart feels like its gonna race out of my chest when im on prednisone. Drives me nuts when Im trying to sleep. It does stop the racing once ive tapered off. Glad to hear im not the only one..thnks..

Prednisone drove me crazy! And sleep? Not a chance when I was on it!
