A member asked:
Are hot flashes and jitters side effects of a prednisone *injection* given for asthma attack? i am an overweight but healthy female, 44 years old.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: Yes, Prednisone can make you feel jittery and uncomfortable. Steroids have many unfavorable side effects. I would contact your doctor to let them know the trouble you are having and to determine if there may be another reason for your symptoms.
