Ok being treated with prednisone for bronchitis, problem is after taking the 2 tabs this am as instructed my bp ( controlled with rx) is running 145-156/80-90 is this ok next 5 days or should i stop them not sure of what to do n can't see dr soon?

The dose of the medication may be adjusted, or an inhaled steroid substituted. Your BP should be monitored, decrease salt intake, and stay well hydrated. Short courses are usually not associated with long term side effects of the medication. Avoid smoke exposure and keep vaccinations up to date.
