I first had prednisone for bronchitis, along with antibiotics. they seemed to cure the coughing at least for a while but I started to gain weight.I figured it was a coincidence and just let it go. The bronchitis came back, and worried that it may be heart failure, I saw my Cardiologist who told me taht i was OK from that angle!! I started cardiac rehab after my last heart procedure. ( a couple of stents) and coincidentally the bronchitis came back. Same prednisone scrip but his time the weight gain was very noticeable. Ten pounds in one week! I was stopped on the excercise machine because my face and neck was beet red after 15 mins of light excercise. Apparently the other patients were getting worried just watching me. As the pred regimen came to its end, after 12 days, I lost 6 of the ten pounds in 3 days. thats where I am now.
