Methylprednisolone / High Blood Pressure

Took my last pill from 6 day pack. Question I have is I have had perfect blood pressure until I started this medicine. Now my blood pressure is very high and my heart rate is elevated also. Which this is not normal for me. How long after you finish with this medication will the blood pressure go back to normal and the headache will go away? Thr medicine took care of the inflammation in my knee my all of the side effects I had. I will never take it again.

Hello, Tammy! How are you?

I can take a week or so for the side effects to taper off, however, how high is your blood pressure?

If it is dangerously high, then you may need medical treatment in the meantime to keep yourself out of danger.
