High Blood Pressure And Tension Headache
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Hi, I’ve been on prednisone dose pack 6 day/4mg. I’m on day 5 and have one pill to take tonight and one tomorrow. Today however my blood pressure has been 130/83 to 151/86 which is abnormal for me and I feel high anxiety. Can I just not take the next two doses and be ok? I’m scared it is going to elevate my blood pressure more at this point.

Speaking from experience here having been on prednisone on several occasions I can assure you that you will be fine not taking the last two doses.

There have been a couple of occasions where my doctor didn't even have me titrate my doses. Just had me take 5 a day for 5 days due to a gout attack.

I'm not a doctor though, just giving you my experience with it. Oh and I have hypertension. Your BP readings would be normal for me. Even a little lower than my normal.

Those can be normal side effects, when taking a steroid like this, it would be best to finish your dosing protocol, unless your doctor instructs you otherwise.

The FDA warns that you may also experience other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, acne, and weight changes.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?
