Maybe low potassiium: We need to know the reason for the prednisone. Sometimes prednisone can change potassium or other electrolyte levels. Your physician will check some of these issues on your evaluation. If you are on a medicine for your Cholesterol this could impact this as well. This will be how your physician will evaluate these symptoms
