During the time I had PMR I also had Paroxysmal AF and chronic asthma. I still had AF episodes, and episodes of bad asthma for which I was prescribed short high (40mg a day) courses of prednisolone.. The prednisolone I took for 4 years did not have any influence on the rate or severity of AF episodes .
