Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Posted May 21, 2006 Hey, gang... I have dealt with Prednisone for years & years, but wanted to know if anyone here deals with this side effect: rapid heart rate. There is a certain point in the day where this is particularly bad. Usually 1-3 pm. I take my dose around 7am each morning. I've had this before & my doc says it's the Pred, but has anyone else here experienced it? What do you do about it? I usually lie down, but I can't nap b/c my heart is pounding out of my chest. Scary... Also, it seems to have gotten worse since I took my MTX & Remicade last Wednesday, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. Just curious. Hope everyone is having a decent day!
