cammee Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I was in er last night. Had 2 bags saline and a steroid shot. Today I don't feel any better. Bp all over the place. In 15 minutes time I had readings of 160-103 sys. To 105/72 dia. Heart rate from 117-153. This *****. I'm shakey. Weak. Nauseous. Headache. Sound sensitive. All the good stuff. Shouldn't the saline have helped? My labs showed my potassium at 3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethargic Smiles Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 My guess is the steroid shot is causing your current issues. It can cause side effects in otherwise healthy patients, so I'd imagine we are even more susceptible. It could also be that your HPA axis has been temporarily thrown off from the steroid and hasn't kicked back in properly yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
