Call emergency services (911 or your local equivalent) immediately if you experience sudden, severe hypotension accompanied by any of the following:
Chest pain. This suggests a potential heart problem requiring urgent care.
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. This could indicate a serious lung or heart condition.
Confusion or altered mental state. These are serious signs that may point to inadequate blood flow to the brain.
Loss of consciousness (syncope). This requires immediate medical attention to rule out life-threatening causes.
Seizures. Hypotension can trigger seizures, necessitating emergency intervention.
Severe dizziness or lightheadedness that prevents you from standing or walking safely.
Rapid, weak pulse. This indicates your heart is struggling to pump blood efficiently.
Cold, clammy skin. This is a classic sign of poor circulation.
Severe abdominal pain.
Seek immediate medical attention if your blood pressure remains dangerously low despite taking prescribed medications or if your symptoms worsen after adjusting your Prednisone dosage.
Remember, prompt medical attention is crucial for managing potentially life-threatening complications of hypotension. Don’t hesitate to contact your doctor or seek emergency help if you are concerned.
