I am on 60 mg prednisone a day. Ever since, my heart rate has been high 115 . Is that normal from that?

I see the dr tues and will ask him, but wanted to see what you guys know.

Thanks, halo

I was on it last week for five days, by day five I could not believe the jitters and that was 30mg. If you have high blog pressure I think you need to be careful but someone will come along with better info, good luck!

My blood pressure is good, it's just my pulse. I do have the jitters bad. I hope they reduce me soon.
