The Drinking Age Is Past Its Prime. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act, passed by Congress 30 years ago this July, is a gross violation of civil liberties and must be repealed. It is absurd and unjust that young Americans can vote, marry, enter contracts and serve in the military at 18 but cannot buy an alcoholic drink in a bar or restaurant.
Hiya Shmitty, I am not a medical doctor, I only speak of my own experience of having illnesses that require that I take steroids. Yes, in some cases prednisone can cause heart irregularities i.e. fluttering, palpitations etc. This needs to be brought to the attention of your prescribing doctor as soon as possible.
Prednisone is a drug that is commonly used to treat many inflammatory conditions. It is often prescribed to treat the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)âCrohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The chief barrier to use of prednisone is its long list of potential side effects, many of which are visible or especially bothersome. Some of these prednisone effects include: insomnia, mood swings, increased hair growth, facial swelling or mooning, increased appetite, night sweats, acne, headaches, and weight gain. In more extreme cases, the long-term use of prednisone can lead to steroid dependency, bone density loss, and other permanent adverse effects.
