ariella Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 HiI started prednisone about two weeks ago for another condition. I am on a high dose. I think it may be worsening my POTS. I was dizzy and high as a lark this morning. Eventually I went outside for a walk because I was scared to be home alone. I thought I was going to collapse. Anyone else with this experience, or is it just coincidence?thanksAriella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I'm on a tapering dose right now, and I really hate it. It makes my bp go up, my chest hurt, gives me horrible surges. But as the dose decreases, I get much better. I just realize I need to get through a couple of bad hours every day, but hopefully it's going to help my inner ear. Not thrilled about going deaf, so I guess it's worth the pots issues that go with it...morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belinda Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Prednisone brought out my orthostatic probels with POTS, as I already had many symptomssuch as gastrointestinal,s.o.b., and then I was put on Prensione under false presumption I had asthma..which turned out to be esophageal spasms.My orthostatic problems were horrible on prednisone, this was before they knew I had POTS. It took me a couple of weeks to not fel constantly dizzy after being weened off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
