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Drinking Age Act, passed by Congress 30 years ago this July, is a gross violation of civil liberties and must be repealed.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.
My Dad was diagnosed with IPF , he was given Prednisone . He insists that after taking Prednisone, he coughs more and it is usually accompanied by thick mucus. The exertion in the coughing action causes his SpO2 level to drop drastically(below 70%) and heart beat rate also increases. No one believes him as the literature shows that prednisone is supposed to help with IPF.
