Hello,
First, tell me why you are on steroids? Give some more details about your blood pressure, pulse and blood sugar level, and steroids level. Get your Echo done and show me its report. I’m sure you will recover well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. RS Gulati
