Does Prednisone Cause PVC?
I have been diagnosed with PVC and also polymyalgia rheumatic . I also am on thyroid medication which they just decreased from 50 to 25 mg. I have been on prednisone for the joint pain for the last 4 weeks and am down to 15 daily. What my question is -- my PVC s have been going crazy and just wonder if it had to do with the prednisone or the decrease in my thyroid prescription. Should I be concerned with the heart beating irregular . My doctor is out of the office until the 13th . Pat

hi
PVC can be due to the thyroid hormone variations, or electrolyte imbalance, or cardiac related or sometimes idiopathic
prednisolone itself does not cause any PVC`S
please check out for your thyroid levels.
take care
