A member asked:

Solu medrol (methylprednisolone) ... can it cause low heart rate and nonspecific ekg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No low HR: Why are you on solumedrol (methylprednisolone)? It can increase bp, fluid retention, tachycardia, mood swings, nervousness, insomnia, anxiety, vertigo, hypokalemia, glucose intolerance and in theory non specific ekg changes due to above.
