AI: A doctor needs to evaluate this. Low blood pressure (hypoension) is a common problem in ai and the steroids in ai help maintain blood pressure in the normotensive range. Electrolyte imbalance is another consideration.

Restart steroid: I presume your doc did a Cortrosyn stim while you were off.

Adrenal insuff: If the test is already done, it's ok to go back on steroid until you can get in touch with your doctor about this.
