Anti-Inflammatories

Took Aleve for 2x2days and 1x2days then took a 2 day break before taking prednisone (40mg) for one day (had to stop). Ever since, I’ve been dealing with palpitations and some stomach issues. The palpitation gets better with burping. Is this dosage enough to destroy my gut for awhile? This is the first time I have taken nsaids in two years and thinking back now I’m sure it was undiagnosed gastritis back then too.

Prednisone

I took one dose four days ago (40mg) and had to stop (Ok’d by dr). Ever since, I’ve had heart palpitations that are fairly constant and which are more noticeable while lying down which makes sleeping hard. Anyone experience something like this? How long did it take to resolve?

Prednisone side effects after one dose?

I was prescribed a 10 day course of prednisone for sciatica. I don’t have any history of anxiety or depression. After taking prednisone, I started experiencing insomnia, heart palpitations, and intrusive thoughts about 12 hrs after the first dose. I only did one days worth (40mg) and was told by the it was ok Dr. to stop. It's been two days since I stopped the medication, and while the intensity of the palpitations have improved, I still feel down and can't stop worrying about things that never bothered me before. I'm hopeful these side effects will fade with time, but I prefer not to take any medication for this. I've come across numerous stories about prednisone causing similar symptoms, and recovery seems to vary from person to person. Any advice on how to cope or speed up the recovery process would be greatly appreciated.

Prednisone side effect

I took one dose of 40mg a few days ago and have been experiencing palpitations, insomnia, and anxiety ever since. Anyone else have that type of reaction? I stopped the next day.

Prednisone

Took one course(40mg) of prednisone of a few days . I had some jitteriness afterwards and I figured this was normal. About 12 hrs later, I had a weird episode of increased heart palpitations, lightheadedness, faintness and cold skin. Went to urgent care and everything checked out but the palpitations and faintness are still there. Should the side effects linger this long after only one dose it’s almost been two days since I’ve stopped.

Prednisone side effects

40m - started a course of prednisone yesterday morning for some back pain. I had some jitteriness afterwards and I figured this was normal. About 12 hrs later, I had a weird episode of increased heart palpitations, lightheadedness, faintness and cold skin. Went to urgent care and everything checked out but the palpitations and faintness are still there. Should the side effects linger this long after only one dose? I was told to stop today.
