A member asked:
Hi i'm on prednisolone 5mg 6x day and i've been feeling really weird in my chest and just not feeling good is this a side effect?

Likely: First you need not take it at this frequency. Most people can take 30 mg in one dose or 2 divided doses. It can make you feel strange but most people tend to feel good with it. I presume you are taking this for asthma which usually improve with prednisone but during the transitional phase, you may end up with more coughing as the sputum plugs start to come out. Talk to your doctor .
