A member asked:
Heart rate ok but can feel beating below ribs. started 15mg prednisone 2days ago. is this caused by my anxiety or meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely anxiety : Low dose prednisone has not been reported to change heart rate. Please check your pulses, it usually equals heart rate under normal conditions
