Thanks for your responses. I'm feeling better about the prednisone.

... as far as your arrhthmias, have you talked to a doctor?

Tachycardia can be caused by viruses and you don't need a family

history to be susceptible. It can be a bit nerve-racking but

definitely manageable. Good luck and let me know if you have any

questions.

Nah. I have a check up scheduled in May. But I'm not worried about it. Like I mentioned, I never lose my breathe, so it's likely to be PVC's, which are harmless.....and I haven't had them in a while now....It's just really disconcerting when I do.
