Are Breathlessness With Mild Exertion, Palpitations, Irregular And Elevated Heart Rate Adverse Effects Of Medrol Intake?
Just completed a Medrol Dose Pack about 4 days ago for severe back pain not responding to NSAIDS. Two days ago started experiencing SOB with mild exertion, palpitations and irregular and elevated HR. I don t take any other meds except occasional Advil prn. Are these side effects strictly from the Medrol and if so how long will they last. They are quite debilitating.
