A member asked:
What is the likelyhood of 10-20mg of prednisone raising heart rate or increasing bp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not high: Single dose of Prednisone of this size is unlikely to cause increased pulse or blood pressure. Chronic use of Prednisone at this daily dose could lead to fluid retention and increased blood pressure.
