Other Reasons to Seek Medical Advice
Contact your doctor if hot flashes are accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as rapid heartbeat, chest pain, or shortness of breath. Also, discuss any new or worsening symptoms unrelated to hot flashes that occur while taking prednisone. Consider a doctor’s visit if your hot flashes persist or worsen even after adjusting your prednisone dosage or implementing lifestyle changes suggested by your physician.
Regular communication with your doctor is key for managing prednisone’s side effects. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns regarding your symptoms.
