So far i am a 14 year old boy facing prednisone and have been on this drug over 4+ month periods at 10 mg first time and 100 second time. I have chrons's disease and it is hard to treat when it has a flare, so they have to put me on prednisone. I have experienced some of the worst side effects imaginable along with many other suffering victims of this drug, and they include: Headache, Severe Acne, Flu-Like Symptoms, High Blood Pressure, 50+ Pounds Gained, Moon face, Stomach Pains, and Much More. After i have been weened completely off i have notice these: SCARY Heart Palpitations, Out of Breathe, Feels like something is beating in my stomach, and feels like my heart drops to my stomach like pacing.

This last year I have had a serious problem with chronic sinusitis and ear inflamation.I've been seeing an ent for 1 year and 1/2.Been on constant antibiotics and prednisone.he recently diagnosed me with TMJ.I believe all these meds weakened my immune sytem and recently I was just treated for MRSA with tetracycline.Its been pretty scary.Now that I'm off the meds after being off of the prednisone...I felt the ear pain come back for about two days and my face has completely broken out with severe cystic acne too.Not only that I've been having heart palpitations just like yours,I notice it at night when I'm trying to fall asleep.Now I have to go see a cardiologist.I am afraid to take anything now because it does something to my heart.I don't know if I'm having panic attacks or anxiety or if all the meds or the prednisone caused this?I feel your pain.
