The Drinking Age Is Past Its Prime. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act, passed by Congress 30 years ago this July, is a gross violation of civil liberties and must be repealed. It is absurd and unjust that young Americans can vote, marry, enter contracts and serve in the military at 18 but cannot buy an alcoholic drink in a bar or restaurant.
Hiya Shmitty, I am not a medical doctor, I only speak of my own experience of having illnesses that require that I take steroids. Yes, in some cases prednisone can cause heart irregularities i.e. fluttering, palpitations etc. This needs to be brought to the attention of your prescribing doctor as soon as possible.
I had an EKG done and it came back abnormal . Dr said there have been some changes since my previous EKG. I do have heart issues with blockage in left main coronary 50-50% blocked.. Wonder if the prednisone is the cause of these palpitations..Had another EKG today and they said it was better but still not ok. See heart dr in 3 weeks again for another EKG. If palpitations persist may have to go to ER Dr may do a stress test.
