Prednisolone

I have had asthma for about fifteen years and I was also diagnosed with glaucoma about five years ago. When I get a chest infection I have to take prednisolone which I am scared to do because of my eye pressure which I was told two weeks ago was too high. I have a chest infection at the moment and I have taken five days of antibiotics which have not cleared it up so I have no choice but to take prednisolone for five days. Is there anyone else with glaucoma and asthma who feels the same?

Yes I have had my flu jab. I have taken the prednisolone for three days and feel better. I will see how I get on now. Thanks for your message.
