Ive just finished (5 days ago) my latest stint on preds. I was ok until 2 days ago, but now i have a huge swollen stomach (im not that slim anyway) and im getting palpitations too. Has any one else had a similar problem? Any advice?x

hiya
id see your GP on mon just to be on the safe side or call out of hrs docs if palpatations are concerning you!!
i get palpatations when using ventolin lots, and get used to a relitively fast normal heart rate as i use regular nebs but its frightening if it just starts happening for no reason - may be nothing to worry about and could be related to how much puffer your using but if your worried see your doc!
as for the swollen stomach thing im bloated all the time at the mo due to long term pred - it can cause water retention...
As i cant see you, i cant really advise you as to what to do medically etc id talk to your dr tho if it is worrying you!!!
sorry cant be of more help but hope ive helped a bit. Take care and feel better soon lv kat Xxx
