Get seen: We need to rule out a mediastinal lymphoma, a cardiomyopathy that requires steroids to stay in remission, and a few other entities. You should be commended on your powers of observation.

How is your: Kidney/heart function? Your blood volume/blood pressure maybe changing. This is a question better answered by doctor prescribing the 20 mg, who knows your underlying medical issues.
