Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis

I was on prednisone for 3 days for bronchitis and was having some pretty serious side effects Pchycosis high blood pressure was hospitalized for three days in the cardiac ward that caused me to stop taking it after three days after which I got very sick with withdrawals. I am on my 4th day of not taking them anymore and am feeling better but not back to normal yet. I think the worst part of the prednisone was glaucoma like symptoms lots of pressure behind my eyes. I went back to the ER that prescribed them to me and told them I thought I was having a bad reaction and they would not listen they just prescribed me zantac for stomach pain that I thought was chest pain and tramadol for my head and said that it was due to stress. That night was the last time I took them and have been getting less pressure in my eyes and head but it is still there especialy when looking at a computer screen almost like I get motion sickness. I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to alleviate some of the withdrawl symptoms and the eye pressure. I was on 30mg a day for three days. All total I made 4 trips to the ER in one week because of this.

You rightly stopped te prednisolone..
For now you should reduce your salt intake which will help to reduce the symptoms which you suffered and if coughing is present then just take steam inhalations thrice a dy for 4 days..
Avoid sitting over the computer for long periods for time being..
