Hello
You are taking ( started ) prednisolone two days ago . Developed pressure in head, eyes , pain in spine and hard to breath.
No doubt , all these symptoms developed , after the use of prednisolone , but you didn't mention , why you have started prednisolone.
In my opinion the disease for which you started prednisolone may be responsible for these symptoms .
But these symptoms may not be due to side effects of prednisolone ( except in few cases ) .
So consult your doctor and get his opinion.
Good luck.
