A member asked:
Are heart palpitations common while taking prednisolone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: While Prednisolone itself doesn't cause palpitations, Prednisolone can cause a low potassium level which definitely can lead to palpitations. Potassium can be checked easily with a simple blood test.
