Can prednisone induce palpitations/tachycardia? my doc says no but i've been suffring from both since i started pred. exams revealed nothing wrong.

Possibly : one of the common reactions seen with prednisone is nervousness,feeling anxious and "on edge,"and those things can produce symptoms such as palpitations and tachycardia as you describe.If it started right after starting the med,I'd say there's high likelihood it's the med.If it's very bothersome you may want to consider talking to your doc about switching meds.should cease when stop the prednisone

No: Prednisone should not induce tachycardia but rather commonly causes anxiety or feelings of restlessness that may make you feel like you are experiencing palpitations. This is supported by the fact that your exam was normal. Prednisone has many side effects and benefits, some occur acutely and others with chronic use. Ask your doctor regarding proper management!
