Hi I suffer with asthma and recently my asthma became worse. After going to the doctor he prescribed me prednisone . I have been taking these for 2 weeks an have some side effects from them like heart palpitations an numbness an tingling in my left arm an sometimes my legs, I feel very twitchy an my hands tremble constantly to the point of not being able to hold a pen or knife an fork properly. My legs are shaky also. Is this normal whilst taking these tablets.
Hellowelcome to ChatDoctoras per the details u have given, u just had recover from the ACUTE SEVERE ASTHMA. So that's why your doctor has prescribed prednisone orally, normally these prednisone tablets doesn't give any side effects when you use them for short periods except some gastric irritation.what ever the symptoms you are telling probably due to usage of other antipasto meds known as BETA2 AGONIST like albuterol, levosalbutamol, salmetorol. So I advise you to check whether you are using these pills???and one more thing is, you can now taper your prednisone tablets slowly and start using RETAILER WITH ROTATES. These toecaps are well tolerated and very safe for long term usage also.... hope u got the better information now...
