What's your pulse?: Hi. That sounds concerning. I think you need to see your doctor. I'd like to know what your pulse and BP do going from lying to standing. Why are you on prednisone? Please tell us any other medical conditions you have. The problem could be heart, low BP, dehydration, anemia, etc, etc. If this is a new problem, I'd see your doc sooner than later. Good luck!
