Can intake of steroid lead to low BP, problem in vision and mental health?
human
When l was given a very high dose of Oral steroid, 1,000mg per day for 3 day s...by my GP, for an M.S RELAPSE ...l was totally confused hyper Could not sleep, vision comeing & going....Bp low high temperature....seeing horrid visions like rats on wall...that part kicked in when taken to local hospital...GP GAVE ME PILLS & injections. Saying it was a MENTAL Health prob, They were told not to give me Steroids again 3yrs before...60mg per day for 2 weeks...as my GP HAD me sent to a Mental Health HOSP...symptoms simular but not so bad....diagnosis reaction to steroids sent home....This time we ll 2010, l have mental health prob on my medical records...lm now 58 & have no history of any depression or any history of M.H problems...l also think the steroid dose has been altered on my medical records...my pharmacists is willing to be a witness to fact l was given 1,000 mg once a day over the 3 day s...it s a steroid with the longest name lve ever see. The GP who prescribe denied giving me a steroid at the time...l live on a small island....my good name has been ruined, by stigma, of Mental HEALTH diagnosis...as soon as l was away from my local hospital....& not given any forced medications...l was fine....maybe a month before l could sleep properly.....lve read about alcoholics having DTs. That s what it felt like....my M.S symptoms were worse also...sorry this is rather long...thanks regards Norma

Taking steroids can lead to visual problems, but different from what you have described. Also, steroids can lead to mental health problems
