Fluttering In Chest After Steroid Shot For Sinus Infection Is Due To Its Side Effect?
I've had a sinus infection for about a week now, finally made myself go to a Dr where I received a steroid shot. Now I'm experiencing a fluttery feeling in my chest. is this a side effect of the shot? I am on no other medications, do not smoke, drink, etc.
