prednisone and heart rate

Hey everyone, i have Ulcerative Colitis and during this flare of it that i am going through now my gI dr put me on 60 mg of prednisone. i have been on it for a few weeks and have went down to 50mg. i also have MVP. my heart rate is always between 90-115 sometimes it goes up to 130 or higher. I was wondering if this is because of the preds i am on, it is making me anxious all the time. waking up and my heart racing like all day long day in dfay out. any advice?before taking these meds my heart rate was always in the 70's and 60's. i did make an appointmet with a heart dr though in the next couple weeks.

Re: prednisone and heart rate

I was on Prednisone for an outbreak of psoriasis several years ago and I also experienced a fast heart rate while taking it. In addition, I got really bad heartburn and couldn't stop eating.

Re: prednisone and heart rate

I have UC and while I was on Prednisone things with my disease were tons better however, when my DR took my off my muscles ached incredibly bad almost like the flu and my skin burned really bad. Check the bottle for side effects, I know there are tons.
