Unhappy Pericarditis
Back in May of 2012 I was diagnosed with Pericarditis. I was put on several drugs and then prednisone. Every time I tapered down my prednisone, I start having the chest pains and shortness of breath again. Anyone else with this problem?

Re: Pericarditis
Is there a reason you has tapered down the med prednisone? You should never do anything without talking to the doctor first. There are some meds that has the same reaction when dosage is lowered. Talk with the doctotr before doing this again. Please. Hugs for today.
