prednisone and dizziness

The doctor put him on a pill for dizziness and prednisone. The pill for dizziness has not helped at all. I dont know how long it takes for prednisone to work maybe it will help...He has been dizzy sense wed. at 4pm...Im kind of worried this really is not normal. The dizziness started before the fall he fell because of the dizziness. His blood pressure and everything is normal..The doctor said if this prednisone does not work we need to call him..I wish I could find some kind of answers..

I am a diabetic and have been running very high blood sugars when I have been on the many antibiotics and Prednisone. I am now experiencing some neuropathy in my hands and feet - do not know if it is related to my mysterious condition or a result of the long periods of high blood sugar. Would appreciate any input. Thanks !!!!

Felt exhausted after serious bout of bronchitis and long term use of Prednisone. Tested positive for hypothyroid and put on Synthroid 50 mcg daily. OK for two days. A little sick on the third day. Thought I would die on the fourth day. My stomach was so upset with a burning sensation. I was nauseous and I developed a bad headache with horrible dizziness. Do you think that I have been mis-diagnosed?

Hi guys! I have had a variety of problems with my vision over the last month. Decreased vision(mainly at night or in dimmer rooms), sensitivity to really bright lights and periodic blurriness. I also woke up one morning with an ocular migraine aura( went awat after 10 mins). I get pain in my eyes and above them as well. I also have had a headache daily for the last month. The headaches vary in severity and are typically on my forehead area and on one side of my head.

I would definitely talk to your neuro about your symptoms and ask about the prednisone. As far as I know prednisone will cause you to feel a little jittery, and maybe a little warmer than usual. It also raises your appetite, and makes you retain water.

I am wondering what kind of results has anyone had from the prednisone and how soon you may have noticed a difference. My biggest problems have been the shocking pains, tickling skin, and numbness in my hands. The numbness in my hands doesn't feel so bad as it did earlier today, usually it feels as if the circulation is being cut off or tightness. Thank you in advance!

I was recently diagnosed with adrenal insufficiancy and have been on prednisone 10mg and florinef .01mg 3 x's per day and I was wondering what happens if you get the stomach flu and are unable to take these meds by mouth? will you have to go in daily for steroid shots or a picc line and do them at home?

I went to the ER and after 30mg of prednisone the dizziness was better. patients told me that it was cruel for the surgeon to put a large asthmatic male on a shiley 6....I didn't have dramatic improvement in my sleep apnea in 1 month on the 6. I could exhale much better on the 8 than w/o trach and asthma.

I was in bed and sleeping for next 4 days taking meclizine 3x per day. The dizziness continued and I was unable to function without dizziness and great effort. I returned to primary care doctor and was prescribed prednisone and referred to ENT. When I saw ENT series of tests were given and I was diagnosed with BPPV and told to perform Epsley exercises for 2 weeks.

I have taken oral prednisone and it does provide some relief. Not total relief but enough welcome relief. I hope that you are feeling better soon. The stress of surgery is probably what put you in the state of misery but it will pass, just give it time and be sure to get plenty of rest.

The symptoms have not gotten better. I went to my Pulmonary doctor yesterday and was given more prednisone and symbicort. I have chest pain when coughing, bending and last night I was awakened by chest pain (I was sleeping on my back). I have a Loop recorder in my chest so I sent communication through to my cardiologist thinking it could be heart related. I was just hospitalized for syncope & have been having problems with dizziness, fatigue and migraines since 6/26.

The prednisone made me feel yucky while taking it and the week after completing the 6 da dose, but thereafter I have noticed an improvement in the face pain stabbing eye, ear, and behind the ear pain, migraines, and the stiffness and dizziness. Also the fatigues has gotten better. I am noticing more of the symptoms are starting to come back.

I have had swollen glands in neck for about 3 months now along with light-headedness and achiness sometimes. Been to ENT, treated w/Prednisone and anti-viral... said I have inner ear virus. Days go by and some days symptoms better but most days stay the same. Gland swelling never goes down. What the heck is wrong with me? Had blood tests, head MRI, check ups, etc and nobody can find anything. I feel crappy every day. I am also fatigued every day even though I seem to sleep all night.

I take pred nisone from time to time for my asthma and I use a steroid inhaler so I am kind of suprised.

I'm not a dr. but this doesn't sound normal to me. I think if your MRI is normal they would not say "demyelinating process here needs to be considered"...among other things that are reported here. Who reported to you that you had a normal MRI? Was it your doctor? If this were my report I would be looking for another opinion at least. Have you been diagnosed with something? You mentioned prednisone.

What did they do? I hope you got immediate high-dose prednisone and possibly other treatment, and, if your hearing didn't return, got an MRI with contrast. Once it becomes clear whether your hearing is stable and you get a diagnosis (hopefully), you can consider hearing aids. An audiologist can help with that. But first you need to figure out, if possible, why your hearing left. Have they considered autoimmune inner ear disease? A great site is www.dizziness-and-balance.

This is my first time taking Prednisone and I have had a TERRIBLE experience on this drug! I usually have anxiety, but the last 14 days I have had unbelievable restlessness, panic, insomnia, severe heart palpitations/tachycardia, face swelling, etc. I have spoken to my nurse and two pharmacists who say that these are indeed side effects of prednisone, and that they should get better once I stop the medication.

I also noticed I have been really spacy, and forgetful (not like me at all). I started the Prednisone this morning, maybe 5 hours ago, now I am having horrible lower back pain, my heart feels like it's racing and my face is VERY pale. I don't know what I should do!? Can anyone help?

About 3 weeks ago I started having dizzy spells once or twice a day. Within a few days, I was having them 10+ times per day (even while sitting). They are so intense at times that I feel like I might pass out. Each spell lasts anywhere from 1-5 min). Last week at work, I had a really bad one and my boss insisted that I let her take me to urgent care. The Dr.

Hey all, I have struggled with some dizziness, migraines, and light-headedness in the past and it has recently sprung back up again this fall. I am a second year college student. My freshman year was going good and then on September 13 of last year I woke up after a night of drinking and was pretty dizzy. I felt like I was still drunk..really weird feeling. It went away that night but was back the next morning. It went away again that night and came back the next day again.

I am SVR after triple therapy for 5 years now. I recently took prednisone for a severe rash from taking acedametaphine. After 3 days of prednisone every horrible side effect I had from triple therapy came back! I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen, I quit my prednisone drug regiment 4 days early because of the side effects. At this point I pretty much will not take a prescription med again unless I'm in a coma.

At the time, it was misdiagnosed as some type of odd reaction to prednisone and my adrenals. I just recently had a second episode And was admitted overnight to the hospital. I passed out at work and then they discovered the heart rate in the 150's. It was officially diagnosed with a suspected onset after a sinus infection. I was told not to be too concerned about it, to drink more water, eat more salt, and started on Metoprolol 25mg twice a day.

I guess relieves inflammation back there. I had an allergic reaction a few weeks ago and the prednisone I was on for that REALLY helped but prednisone really causes unacceptable symptoms too.

m not sure what to do. I have other symptoms as well like dizziness, vertigo, and tingling in legs and feet that all get worse the more I move. So, has anyone had their flow improve during prednisone and seen a reduction in headache, which I'm assuming would indicate an improvement in any csf blockage?

Hi Willa - The prednisone and "other drugs" have different jobs. Prednisone treats current inflammation. It is often current inflammation that causes symptoms. In your case it may be that your lack of coordination is the result of inflammation. The prednisone reduces the inflammation and you feel more coordinated. Prednisone will not help with the underlying cause of the inflammation.
