I was taking 80 mg of Prednisone for 5 days (no weaning), and then 10 mg of Decadron for 2 days (again, no weaning), and tonight -- the first night off both medications -- I'm having chest pain and palpitations. Is this normal or dangerous? I'm otherwise pretty healthy (or at least as far as heart concerns go anyway), but my chest is in a lot of pain and I'm afraid that I'm going to have a heart attack or something! It's making me anxious too, which is only adding to the problems. Please help! I'm normal weight and in my late teens. I was on the steroids for asthma and airway swelling. I'm also taking Zanaflex for a spinal injury, which makes me drowsy -- that seems to slow my heart rate down, so would that be good to take or dangerous? Thank you so much for help A.S.A.P.!
